The plan for Actual Birthday Day comes together as follows: Classic French baguette sandwiches, macarons, a pilgrimage to Guerlain, and cap it off with a sunset climb up Tour Eiffel.
Packed in with a full English Breakfast, we make our journey over (or under) to Paris where I begin crossing some long-awaited things off my bucket list.
The first leg of my birthday vacation began in London, where we'd hop around to a few favorite places before boarding the Eurostar bullet train to Paris.
A year ago I planned a trip to Paris, France for my birthday. Fast-forward to now, 24 hours before my flight departure, I get a text from the airline saying my flight was cancelled.
