I've been to Paris once for my 40th birthday present to myself. I'd always had an affinity for it and that trip sealed it. 40 was during a bad time in my life and I was healed by it's breathtaking beauty. I spoke about 5 words of French but I was treated so well for just trying. I want to return the favor.

Plus there is nothing quite like eating a warm crepe with Nutella while seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time in person. I'm getting a little misty just thinking about that wonderful trip.
