Of course, I knew this question was coming.
"Oh, boy, how big of a luggage should I take?" my mother asked me today.
Now, I could have been evil and told her it all needs to go into one carry-on, but that's just not playing fair, so I've spent the morning going over not only what items to bring, but also the TSA restrictions. Since we're on a night flight, I recommended her toothbrush and morning essentials are easily accessible in either the overhead bin or under the seat in front of her. After all, we don't want to greet the Parisians with morning breath and sleepy eyes.
"Can I bring sneakers?"
"Of course. We're going to be walking a lot. Besides an umbrella for a potential April shower, bring whatever you wear during a normal week."
"I have a nice pantsuit and low dress shoes for when we go to a fancy dinner. Are white sneakers, okay?"
"As fashionable as the French may be, I hardly doubt they'll care what color shoes you're wearing."
"You're too funny, you have my sense of humor!"
But, thankfully, if you've ever seen pictures of me in my stilettos - not her fashion sense.
But the stillettos are very much the Parisian fashion sense!!! They would love your shoes!!
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing to me the shoes those women wear to walk around the city. And me - with my ugly tie shoes (before the day of sneakers). What a tourist!!!
Like I said before, Rosemarie, as long as you try to speak their language they will love you.
Bonsoir!!!
