Spring Break-Europe!

Today is the day!

My countdown is at zero! 

In a few hours I will be getting on a plane to London. 

We will be spending the first three days exploring London. We will be visiting Thames RiverTrafalgar SquareNational Gallery Visit Piccadilly CircusCovent GardenLeicester SquareSoho,
Buckingham PalaceBig BenHouses of ParliamentWestminster AbbeyTower BridgeHyde ParkSt. Paul’s Cathedral, Harrods, and a few other unique places. Because this is an educational trip sponsored by the business department, we will also be visiting BP Headquarter, the mini cooper plant, and the BBC studio where we get to be an audience member on a TV show.

We also have time to explore the city on our own so I'm looking forward to that! 

We will be traveling to Paris on the Eurostar channel crossing. Underwater train! 

Our itinerary for Paris includes:
Arc de TriompheChamps-ÉlyséesEiffel TowerChamp de MarsÉcole MilitaireLes InvalidesConciergerieTuileriesPlace VendômeOpera House, Ile de la CitéNotre Dame Cathedral visitIle St. Louis, and Latin Quarter visit. 
 
The educational visits in Paris include a trip to the L’Oreal Headquarters and Café Procupe. We will also be going to a fashion show, which should be quite interesting. 
 
There is wifi at both of our hotels but I think only the one in Paris is free. I will try to blog and post some pictures! 
 
 
Bon Voyage!
