Well I'm sitting in a hotel in Paris France.... Finally got their internet to work and just wondering how to compose in to words the events of the last few days...

I left my home with a large group of about 30 people composed of high school students, young adults, and my family... My trip has been interesting... My brand new camera stopped working 2 days in to the trip... It's a power board issue internal with the camera and is not fixable. It will have to wait till I get back to the USA.

The blessing that turned that frustration around for me was being able to meet up with  Jester77 I had an awesome time running around with this amazing kitty... I miss him already... Sad Face.... He was our guide for a small number of our group and helped us find a great place to eat with local food. He introduced us all to "REAL Skittles" the best kind they have overseas and took me to a local market were I could get a real water-bottle for only 45pents... Still using that bottle buy the way... We went to the British Museum and Jester was Oooing and Awwing over all the old mummys and weapons of long days past... Especially when we found a huge two handed sword that was as tall as our kitty. How do you live one hour away from a place like that and not visit it more often... HUGS!!! Ooo and the Cadbury Chocolate was awesome. Wish I could bring home a case of it.... We had to say our good byes till next time we met... and I went back to the hotel in London...

Two days later lets just say that some of my family members got their bag lifted with all their money and passports in it... I've never had something like this happen to me or close members of my family especially in another country... I miss my Online family soooooooo muuuch!!!! You all know who you are!!!!! It's been fun being able to see the sites and every thing.... but it's hard not being able to share what I'm seeing with every one as my camera is broken... I'd just come to terms with that when the theft issue happened... and now I'm once again asking my self why am I here... It has been a very stress full night and I just needed to vent some of this out of my system even if it was to all my friends in FA or I was going to go crazy.

But I didn't want it all to be negative... I wanted to give Jester a shout out to let him know how much it meant to me to be able to meet up and spend a good part of the day with him.... I really want to visit next year. The time I got to spend with Jester has been one of the highlights of my trip and I think will be my best day this whole trip... I'm really hoping things can get worked out... We're making lots of phone calls... Getting cards canceled and contacting US embassy.... I'm going to be backing my family with my trip money till we can get new cards rushed to our next hotel... Just wanted to give every one a hug from Paris before we moved on to our next stop...

I'll try to do better next time with less run on sentences.. :o) Hugs every one!!!
