Seriously thought it was Wednesday for the first three hours of this day. Might be the slowest week in history. Tip #3 seems somewhat obvious, and yet we struggle with this every. single. time. My (Kind of Obvious) Utterly Essential Top Three Travel Tips The wino has fallen asleep on the Seine boat ride as well (except her ride was at night after a few too many carafes du vin).

So, when the hubs gave me my Parisian itinerary, he dedicated an entire page to visiting the site (ahhh, romance). I hate scary movies, cannot handle haunted houses, and really only like Halloween for the excuse to dress up like something ridiculous and eat a lot of candy. But something about the catacombs intrigued me. To preface: on a whim, we bumped our visit up a day, and were thus thoroughly unprepared. We were by…
