Buenas Dias!
Travel is a Billion Dollar industry almost teasing at Trillion Dollar status, Why?
Because EVERYONE loves to travel!
Upon my interactions on Facebook I came across a most interesting blog name, 200 Saturdays Until Paris and even though the name is pretty self-explanatory, I was still drawn by the name and the mission of the blog.
Every once in awhile you come across someone who's spirit is iridescent.
Christine's dream, for as long as she can remember, is to visit the City of Light and experience the majestic wonder it has to offer. The first step in her journey is 200 Saturdays until Paris. A personal blog, where she shares her passion for yoga practices, inspirational posts, and the daily shenanigan's life sends her way while researching for her dream vacation.

1. Tell us about a recent holiday
- The most recent vacation was in Las Vegas. You know the saying – whatever happens in Vegas – stays in Vegas. All I can divulge is - you can’t have a bad time in Vegas!
- I love everywhere I go and haven’t been to every destination on my list – so this answer is always evolving. My answer for now is Bar Harbor, Maine. I like hiking and exploring. Acadia National Park was very memorable. One of the friendliest cities – in my opinion.
- Flight canceled and returned home a day late. My luggage decided to stay on vacation 2 additional days. I only take carry-on luggage now.
- I love learning about new cultures – first hand. I love that it doesn’t matter what country I am in – we are different, yet the same. Human.
- Chicago, but I live in Florida now.
- I haven’t been to as many places as some people. I really haven’t been around the world. I recently starting blogging and following travel blogs – there are so many places now added to the must see list. The places outside of the US that I have been to include, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Mexico and the Virgin Islands.
- St. Augustine, FL – The location is convenient. There are so many things to do and see in the oldest city in the United States. I will have a post about St. Augustine, on my blog – soon.
- Since I have a blog dedicated to Paris – I would have to say France!
- Also Hawaii, Amsterdam and Canada.
9. Best item have you purchased overseas?
- I haven’t purchased any big ticket item for myself, on any trip. I tend to be cheap when it comes to myself. That will change - when I go shopping in Paris!
- Anytime it isn’t too hot – I experience that enough where I live now.
- As many as possible, although the last few years we were caring for our 3 elderly Chihuahua’s and couldn’t do much traveling. They are no longer with us. Luckily, the new puppies love to vacation at the doggie spa while we are away!
13. What are some new and exciting cuisines that you tried on your travels?
- I don’t know if this is very exciting. One of my favorite memories on a trip to Jamaica, was having a resident cook a meal for us - in their home. The aroma in the house and the hospitality made it such a great experience. Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Red Stripe beer! Oh and Blue Mountain coffee is THE best coffee!
- Besides my dignity?? No – I usually triple check that I have everything.
- Para-sailing and climbing to the top of lighthouses. I really love architecture - looking for interesting buildings is one of my favorite things to do.
- A good book.
- Francais- of course.
- Tough question. I could probably live anywhere, but, I haven’t been everywhere – so I am unable to choose the dream location. I suspect I will want to live in France, once I visit the City of Light. Home is where you hang your hat!
- I love seeing new places and meeting new people. I have a weird fascination of people watching at the airport. I arrive hours before my flight, just to be able to people watch while I wait.
- I usually travel with my husband, but a getaway with the girls is always a good time.
- Besides many places in the US – I have mostly been to the Caribbean. I feel any place you visit is interesting. There is always something to learn.
- Not really, besides my luggage abandoning me. All experiences are just that – experiences. You can learn from any of them.
- Give me a call – I will gladly go with you and show you that you can travel!
