Bonjour! I Choose Paris!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with DFW FINE PROPERTIES 0506509

So many choices! So little time! So many ways to spend points. I must confess; I am not exactly clear on what Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker, Carol Williams, and Kathy Streib want for the July challenge, but I must act quickly before my surgery this Wednesday. I am going to give it my best shot but if this doesn’t meet the criteria for the challenge, please let me know and I will edit it before July 6th.

 

Bonjour!

I decided I would like to purchase a trip to Paris for 40,000 points. I am inviting my daughter and son to join me on my adventure to a place I never went to, but they have. In the picture is my son and daughter meeting up in Paris a few years ago for their vacation. They have traveled the world! Also, they would be very helpful to me because I don't speak French and I would be terrible on my own finding directions. Meeting Chef Endre Barath, Jr. would be exciting! I confess, I am a picky eater but with Endre preparing a six-course feast, I am sure I will be able to eat something. As for wine, I do not whine! I am not fussy at all. I love both, red and white. My kids will eat anything, especially seafood! We will have fun meeting Endre and talking about food and our own personal adventures. Endre is bound to get in a lot of chuckles about stories my children will talk about me and the crazy things we did together, especially during our many trips to Maine and Boston and how ridiculous my kids thought I was to take pictures of them eating lobster & having my photo taken with lobster traps in Maine, instead of eating the lobsters in Maine or Boston Restaurants! We all know Endre has great stories and a great sense of humor too. It it will be a fun trip for all of us! As for me, well, I will be taking pictures and writing all about our adventure when I get back.

This is my first entry for the July 2022 ActiveRain Challenge. 

Upper left corner is my son eating lobster while I was taking pictures of him enjoying his lobster dinner. Upper right is me sitting on a bench next to a lobster trap. That is the closest I would get to a lobster to have my photo taken. Bottom left: Anthony's Pier 4, excellent seafood restaurant in Boston. I did love the smell as soon as I walked inside! Bottom right: Memorial plaque in Boston about the brother of his Majesty, the King of France. I LOVE history! Plus, I would insist we spend the day visiting The Louvre! These are just a few of the topics my son, daughter, and I would enjoy with Endre. Yes! Yes! Yes! I would be willing to give up 40,000 ActiveRain Points for my trip to Paris!

Au Revoir!

Patricia

Great choice and the points are there for the spending. Anthony's Pier 4 was a great restaurant and depending on what time of day, the speakers would announce the ships coming into the harbor and where they had come from

Ed Silva - Sweet deal! That's what I thought too! Anthony's Pier 4 was an excellent restaurant. I wonder if it is still open? It was a very special place to eat, food great, and excellent customer service.

They closed the restaurant years ago so that the pier could be redeveloped, Such a waste

Ed Silva - I was there in the late 1980's and early 1990's. It was the best!!! Thanks for the update. Redevelopment, in my opinion is always a waste and a pipe dream approved by the city that never comes to fruition. So sad. That location for Anthony's Pier 4 was excellent!

Kris Collis, Associate Broker - I heard so much about it through the news, documentaries, reading books, and in movies. But to me, there is nothing like the real thing to solidify what it really means and represents.

Hello Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP , when I read about the contest and browsed through the store, my first inclination was also a trip to Paris to eat some delicious food prepared by our very own chef Endre Barath, Jr. Perhaps we'll run into each other in Paris and enjoy a cup of coffee together.
Wishing you all the best tomorrow and a quick healing after the surgery.

Beth Atalay - I will continue to dream, as we had planned years ago, to meet up. To visit in Paris while enjoying a cup of coffee with you would be a real sweet treat! The historic, landmark Eiffel Tower would be absolutely perfect. To see and converse with both Endre Barath, Jr., and yourself would be divine! Let us hold on to our dreams and make them come true!!!

Hi Patricia:

I hope goes well with your surgery. I'll be thinking of you.

You will love Paris - it is wonderful in so many ways. The Louvre of course is a must-see (there are a number of wonderful museums), and certainly the Eiffel Tower. The list goes on and on of things to see and do. And you can't go wrong dining in Paris with Endre!

A little late, I missed your bon voyage party to Paris, Patricia. The menu sounds heavenly as well as the accommodations. How fun to travel with your children and for them to venture out to see the world together as well!

Hope you are recovering nicely from surgery.

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can!  thanks for dropping by and your good thoughts. An opportunity to visit Endre Barath, Jr. and my son and daughter and anyone else who flys to Paris is bound to be thrilled with the experience. Perhaps I'll see you there after all, you wanted it all!!! Good for you!
