Abu Dhabi and First Day in Paris

The flight always seems so long when you're in the middle of it, but it's forgotten already.  The wonder of being in Paris has wiped away most memories of the flight.  We have to admit  --  it's also fantastic flying business class and being able to sleep.  Daryl also likes his champagne!

But now .... we're in PARIS!  Yeah!
The apartment is great.  VERY close to the Pompidou Centre and only 5 minutes walk to the nearest metro station.  Little shops and cafés everywhere.
