i awoke at 8am. yes- i'm sick. my throat is in pain. i'm eating celery sticks and ricecakes whilst browsing the web in bed. crumbs e v e r y w h e r e.
making some final decisions on our accommodations in paris. first i booked a hotel for 3 nites for $280 special(originally $450)... and then i booked 2 nites for a complete flat to ourselves for $150.... meanwhile trying to find a place for our first nite on the couchsurfing website to save some money. and then as time went on(and money dwindling down in our bank accounts with less than 6 weeks to go in europe), we've continued our search for even cheaper options. and i think that's that. for both places that i booked, i can cancel up until the day before with no fees. in case we get screwed last minute and someone cancels on us, we have a backup place to stay. i think today i am going to book all 3 nites with a 42 year old guy named eric from england on couchsurfing.org (he's verified and identity checked) he has over 40 positive reviews, lives in a great location(10 minutes walk from monmartre), is a tourguide, runs a bar in a hostel, is a history buff(matt's match), and is just very cool in general. so... i think that IS that. 3 nites in paris... for free. yeah yeah, the privacy thing sucks, but on our last nite he leaves at 8pm and he won't be home till the next morning, so we'll have his place to ourselves. now we can feel a bit less stressed, and have money to spend allllll on food... :) smart? i hope so!
now... time to cure these symptoms and head to a lesson in a couple hrs that i don't want to go to. wahhh. baby's back.
