I made a Parisian friend– yes he was Jewish. Look, you can take the Jewish girl out of New York, but you can’t take the Jewish out of the girl! He was telling me about a romance with a girl from Seattle. According to him, it was “love at first sight, two people meeting from opposite ends of the world.” C’est Romantique!

Whereas I was like, dude, you met at the Birthright Mega-Event. It’s le biggest meat market for the Jewish people in Israel. Sex subsidized by Steinhardt.

I didn’t sleep a wink on the plane, but I did see the Hunger Games- that movie is off the hook. The book must have been even better. I have a lot of thoughts about it, but I’m running on very little steam. I did manage to snap one picture. Why schlepp to the south of France when you can import sand directly to Paris! Pretty baller I must say!

If you are going to up sell me fine, but can you be subtle about it? Check out the title of the browser page by Spirit Airlines. Good thing I don’t equate Spirit Air with class. If you can’t see the photo it says “car up-sell”. I will find a clearer picture when I arrive in Paris, if requested.

More often than not, I choose comfort over fashion. When I rushed for sororities in Michigan’s cold fall/winter, I wore sweatpants over my black mini dress. Did I mention I didn’t join a sorority? Err, that being said, I am following Slonim suit of not caring (too much) about societal standards of coolness. I bought a Camelbak and I intend to use it. It’s totally not sexy, but then again who thought three breasts would be sexy?

I purposely took out my passport and put it in a safe place. The question is adonde!! I refuse to look for it- I am just waiting till its found.

What is it so hard for me to get myself to pack? Am I excited about this trip? Yes! Am I bringing a lot? No. WTF People. Well, at least I opened the luggage, that’s a start. Where am I going? Paris for one night then a 14 day adult teen tour that ends in London. I did a lot of research to find a tour company where the average is neither 21 or 61 years old. I found a UK based company where the average age is 27  and I will be one of the few gringos, yes! I bought tix to the Olympics to see basketball 8/9 for $96. I’m kinda pumped about that price point, err I mean about seeing the game.

Gone to Europe… check out my blog to see Europe through the eyes of a single Jewish New Yorker. Please note, my luggage is 2x the size of the luggage in the photo and I don’t own a suit, let alone a pink one. Otherwise, that picture totally represents me!
