I can't stand Charles de gualle airport..its a shit show every time ive been there

It sucks to get to and from, but the airport itself seems fine. Very clean and stylish, at least the int’l United wing.

ive found that the security and luggage screening is always a mess..anyway, are you headed to Australia?

Yeah tomorrow. Trying to pack and look after a four year old is annoying af. Also I’m sick.

are you sitting up front?

On the long flight yeah.

Anyone familiar with Le Procope?

This was what we at the first night in Paris. Lamb (medium rare) encrusted with hazelnut, a mushroom tart, and a salad topped with an egg that was slow boiled for 16 hours. All of it was excellent.

The 16 hour slow boiled egg would have gotten me in alone. I love eggs.

Puerto Rico for five nights in May. Mostly San Juan. Attending a wedding, forest exploration, bay kayaking, San Juan Viejo strolling, and plenty of beach time on the agenda. I think I’ve scoped some good-looking restaurants, but I’m open to tips.

not sure when in may, but if you see the green-eyed curl girl, run.

My sisters family are going to Punta Cana spring of 2025. We're hoping to tag along for that little getaway but the wife reminds me we still have to figure out our honeymoon so ....

IF we're lucky we can do both!

Not with a four year old. I’ll be lucky to get a nip.

Haha the kid just zonked out on her mom - she never naps anymore. Of course we have to head to the airport in 30 minutes (could’ve used this two hours ago). She’s definitely overexcited about this trip.

I'm putting a list of places (coffee, pastries, restaurants, bars) together and will post them in the Paris thread when I'm done. It's not a big list, but they were the highlights of our stay.
