Or perhaps what could have happened.......
So I woke up this morning with a sore throat and I guess I'm sick.
I brought all kinds of will herbal remedies in collodial silver and oregano oil and all my exotic cold battling things that I travel with because airplanes are notoriously germ infested.
Had a lovely day despite the sore throat walked along the Seine visited outside Notre Dame discovered some other lovely titbits and scenery. The weather was perfect couldn't have been better.
Spent a good 8 hours walking around and then took an elevator down to take the Metro back to my apartment. I was a little worried hadn't used my credit card with a pin yet was hoping that I had not forgotten it but was very happy when it worked fine.
My elation was short lived when I turn around and my bag was gone.
Within a matter of seconds somebody just reached around and rolled right off with it.
My dog airplane carrier, my tablet , all my chargers, extra battery pack, my cold remedies, nebulizer, my jacket, umbrella, French plug adaptor, what to do in Paris travel book and my wheelie cart.
THANK GOD THE ONE THING THAT WASN'T IN THERE WAS CHOOCHI.
I was getting ready to put her in the carrier to take her on the metro and I stopped to get the ticket first. It was minutes away from me having possibly done that.
So in light of that being sick, having the inconveniences of lost stuff, all I can say is I am so grateful that sweetest little doggy is still here today with me. I can't fathom the grief and misery I'd be feeling at this moment otherwise.
Oh and they stole my camera charger that I upload photos with so I can't send any photos today.
It must be a really horrible thing to have to live with yourself doing these things to other people.
Anyway here is Choochi safe and sound wiped out from today.
And a pic of her and me I forgot about that one too.
So I'm not letting her out of my sight for 2 seconds or turning my back....... ever!
Post below if you want would love to hear from you!
Send me some good vibes this has gotten off to a rough start!

Thanks for the updates Laura. That is the sweetest photo ever of you and Choochi. I love having an adventurous friend like you. Tears running down my face reading your blogpost. You are so cool. And I'm glad you're ok. ~ Pamela
ReplyDeleteThank you Pamela I know how you would have felt in my position I feel grateful and relieved the worst didn't happen.
ReplyDeleteOm my...heres your good vibes...good vibes...good vibes...now I grew up in England, and I was taught to NEVER turn your back on your bag, leave your keys in the ignition (even for a second) leave a window open in a room you're not actually in, leave anything valuable in sight of any window and on, and on, and on. Just assume everyone is a crook, without getting paranoid. A bit like assuming that every driver in a tourist town in the US is going to do the opposite to what they are supposed to do, and being ready for it, but while still enjoying the drive. I comes with practice :-) So glad to hear you survived it. Paris should have natural stores, since Europe is more open to natural medicine than the US is, and Choochie is safe, YOU are safe. Enjoy the rest of your journey, travel is the best way to learn about travel. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Have fun!
