Christmas In Paris Again?

Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It's that time of the year again!  Time to travel! Where to next?  About two years ago I decided that it would be a good idea to take advantage of the Christmas break every year to do some traveling! My family and I usually stay in town or go to Panama to visit family, but last year we decided to visit Paris and Brussels. We wanted to experience something different, a European Christmas. It was an amazing experience.  But should we go back to Paris? Why not somewhere else? Somewhere you've never been! That's what I keep asking myself.

It's kinda late in the game and I still don't know where I want to go this year! Today I was looking over some pictures from last year's visit to Paris and I started thinking about doing it all over again! I mean, I honestly I fell in love with Paris! What a great city! Check out my post from my visit last December: "Paris Est Fantastique". Anyhow, I definitely want to go back some day because I wasn't able see all the attractions and I would really like to go when it's warmer. There is so much to see in Paris, but not enough time.

if you've made it this far and have any suggestions on where to spend Christmas, I would love to hear your travel suggestions on where to spend Holiday.

UPDATE: Okay, so I began writing this post last night; I was too tired to finish it. I figured I'd finish it today. Well, today I am shocked to see Paris in the news.  If you don't know what I am talking about at this moment, tune in to the news.  Paris is under terror attack and many have already loss their lives. There was even a bombing during the France - Germany match at the Stade de France! Total chaos as there were simultaneous coordinated attacks throughout the city.

Forget Christmas break, This blog post is no longer about that. In honor of this great, iconic, and timeless city, I am going to share some photos from my trip to honor her.

Stay strong and stay safe Paris!
