Our Parisian Escape

View from Montparnasse Tower, Restaurant Ciel de Paris

Dylan and I spent our first date at a South American restaurant, La Parrilla, and after watched the timeless movie Casablanca.  I had never seen the movie before, but it was one of Dylan's all time favorites. Everyone knows the line "we'll always have Paris," but after I saw Casablanca,  I knew I NEEDED to get to Paris with someone I loved. 

Four years later Dylan and I were engaged and we did not have a desire to have a traditional wedding, but rather saw this as the perfect opportunity to pretend to live in Paris for several weeks.

Everything fell into place and it truly felt meant to be. The flight cost was 50% less for the days that worked in our schedule than all of the other days, the vrbo.com rental apartment was available for the full sixteen day block, and Dylan had the entire time off of medical school.

Spending three weeks in Paris was the best possible vacation for two newlyweds because we never felt restricted on time. We were free to spend each day as we felt and were not rushed around. 

We hope this travel journal inspires others to jet off to the one and only, Paris, France.
