DH and I have been planning to trip to Paris and to DLP for our 15 year anniversary, and are planning on booking this week. So we were talking to some friends that went last year in Sept... and literally everything she had to say was terrible...I will say the she is a glass half empty kinda person, and can be a...well a drama queen... she said using the metro was a nightmare, and that no one spoke English ( I was well.. you were in France did you try to learn a bit of French before you went? which I am trying to learn some)and that they had to wait in line everywhere, and about the pick pockets, and safety.
The biggest issue I have is about our personal safety and the pick pockets... Please I really need some info and input here..
Oh and the exchange rate and she was on and on about the cell phone and credit card charges... and on and on... I would appreciate any info on how or what is the best way to handle this.
This will our 1st trip to Europe, we have traveled all over the Caribbean and been fine, and really loved it.. So now we are ready to start seeing Europe. When we travel we enjoy seeing the big sites, we do not tour commando style and will have a plan in place before we leave, with tickets to the things we really want to see, and we like to explore as well, and soak everything in...
Oh and by the way... I am a planner.... a serious planner...I am about know before you go... but not unbendable to change up or do something else...
So our plan is just coming together, so here's the rough ..rough draft... We are planning on leaving on a Thursday ( Arrival in Paris on Friday) and returning the following Saturday... So 5 nights in Paris and then 3 nights at DLP -
We more than likely will go with a private car to get us to the hotel, then walking and the metro to get us around everywhere else.. Then using DME to get back to the airport on our last day... Not sure on how to go from the hotel in Paris to DLP hotel... suggestions...
Thanks for any info or input...
