Simone recently returned from a trip to France and, after a series of unfortunate events (none of which are related to Mr Snicket's very entertaining books), learned a few lessons.
Lesson Number One: Check that (a) you have your tickets and (b) that you know the date and time at which you are supposed to travel.
Simone went to the airport one day before her flight was supposed to leave - hey, it's better than one day after the flight left. She also neglected to check that she had her high speed train tickets in hand prior to boarding.
Lesson Number Two: Bring appropriate footwear.
Simone left home with a couple of pairs of high heeled boots and one pair of thick winter boots that take on water. Simone had meant to, she really meant to, leave the house with her running shoes. Unfortunately, a 20 cm snowfall blasted her area the day she left and it never occurred to her to slip her shoes on or bring them in the car.
Several blisters later, she's back from her trip and enormous amounts of walking.
Lesson Number Three: Bring loose fitting clothes when visiting France at Christmas.
All the walking you will be forced to do won't even begin to make a dent, calorie-wise, in the amount of food and booze and snacks you'll indulge in.
Simone is going to limp her way over to the exercise corner of the house now... Have an awesome day!
