Unexpected Paris trip

I was in Paris last week. I went there to meet two high school friends, one who came to study french and baking, and another one who is on a long trip around Europe. It had been a while since I went on such a spontaneous, out-of-the-blue adventure. Everything was decided a few days before the trip... and with a bit of encouragement of the boy I went for it. I have to admit I was a bit reluctant, not that I don't love travelling anymore or that I don't jump at the chance of walking around cities and discovering new corners of places I've already been too, but I hadn't stayed in a youth hostel for the last 8 years or so and I must confess, after working for guest-reviews for a year, a part of me was dreading the experience a bit. I'm glad I went though, we had lots of fun, walked as if there was no tomorrow, the youth hostel was clean and modern and I survived the night-trip by bus. That's right. If you ever want to travel Europe on a short-notice and on the cheap, buses are the way to go. Way more affordable than trains and low-cost airlines if you are booking last-minute. I have to recognize, the first two days were tough. I missed the husband a lot, and I constantly found myself wanting to tell him about stuff I saw, luckily he was able to join us for the weekend and all-girls time was something I hadn't experienced in quite some time. And Paris in the fall is always magic...
