Since my first trip to Paris in 2004, I have wanted to move
to Paris permanently. I even named this blog after that dream. On that first
trip, mid way through the week, I knew I didn’t want to leave the City of Light
and return to Tinytown. Finding a way to get there, legally, occupied my time.
Finally, I realized that retirement would have to occur before relocation
could. So I waited and dreamed.
But I have decided to compare where I am to where I want to
be to see if Paris really is better.
