As many of you might already know, I will be leaving the wonderful city of Seattle on July 1st and will be in Paris, France by the end of the month. In between then, I will be visiting Las Vegas for a couple weeks, and afterwards, I will be visiting New York for the first time. Then from NYC, I’ll be departing for France and will be there for three months. I hope to find a way to make some money to extend my stay and possibly even become a resident.
When I tell people of these plans, I get a lot a lot of questions about my motivation for going there, my plans when I get there, and my means of surviving while I’m there. To be honest, the short answer to all of these is, “Dunno, I’ll see when I get there.” C’est vrai. I don’t really know why I’m going, I just know that I’ve always wanted to visit Paris. I’ll be there for at least three months, which is quite a while, so planning an itinerary is just silly. And as far as staying fed and sheltered, I’ll have enough money to keep me alive for those three months, but after that, I’m not sure. The only thing I know is that I’m going, especially since the plane tickets have already been purchased.
I will be redesigning this blog in the near future and will do my best to update it regularly while I’m there. Hopefully not too regularly, as I’ll need to actually do things so I can blog about them.

Ahhh so awesome! What a wild, crazy adventure!
Good luck on the trip. Nice new site btw.
My only question is: Why the hell didn’t I do that when I was still young and unattached? Have a great time, you lucky bastard.
Time to adopt all the French stereotypes: greasy hair; unshowered, yet heavily fragranced body; only crepes for breakfast, frog legs for dinner; and tons of love-making. You’ll do just fine, Alan.
Salut Alan!
