First day in Paris
Well, had a pretty crazy day....
First, I made it on the right train, made it to the hotel, and I booked my room for yesterday!!!! FML
So after I payed for last nights room, I hopped in a cab(50 euros! Ouch) to my new hotel. Prob the nicest Courtyard I've ever stayed at though, and they gave me free wi fi and breakfast!
Next was bookin hostels for the next 2 weeks... Well they are all booked!!!! Got my hotel discount though, so it looks like I will be in a hotel most of my trip at least, just get to move every two days so I can get the cheap rates. It is amazing how expensive Paris hotels are. The Ritz is $1600 a night for their cheapest to put it in perspective. Good thing I work for them, I'm getting really nice Marriott hotels for $50 a night!
Random thought of the day...
Subway smells like death, and they sell produce down there, lol! Geez
Now, since I have to move to the other side of the city tomorrow, I'm going out! Drinking a pint right now at some pub, lovin life!
I will post more pics tomorrow, just figured out I can't use previously taken ones. So I will try to take more throughout the day on here and upload at night when I get back to hotel.
Great first day... Kinda!
Tomorrow I start the staging (begging to work for free) adventure, wish me luck!

It is amazing what they can charge for cab fare -but at least a lesson learned early in the trip :0 Glad you are sorted on your hotel/hostel - know you will have GREAT luck on your quest tomorrow...
