Please can anyone help me - we are leaving early in the morning on a Thalys train for Amsterdam, and I am so dumb I did not realize the tickets I have are print at home, and we have no printer and there's nowhere around here to go print them out. Does anyone know if they will print for me at the station???? Please advise. Thanks.

They were most unhappy before we took off! I think we were stopped because my husband was looking at his gps on iphone trying to locate airport. I feel the need to describe us as well travelled seniors well versed in protocols to avoid judgment.

Can't help you sharbear but hoping for the best!!

Well it all turned out ok, got our tickets printed at the Mercure hotel across the street...sorry for the panic. Amsterdam was lots of fun, but it's nice to be back "home" now even if it is our last week. What a delight to think of Paris as home even if it's only temporary....
Here are some pictures of what we eat at home that I posted: http://www.eatdreamtravel.com/2012/0...-in-paris.html

Did you post a link to your "home" in Paris? If so, I have missed it and would like to know more about the apartment.

Delicious sharbear! My mouth is watering. Can't wait to show my daughter all your pics.

Glad you had fun in Amsterdam.

I did not post a link to the apartment yet, but I'll do so when we leave...which is *sniff* at the end of the week...

I also just can't resist telling you all that we had lunch today at Taillevent (2 michelin star restaurant)...a long-belated wedding gift from dear friends. How's that for a fabulous present?? It was amazing!!

My thoughts and pics on the Rodin garden:

Awesome photos! I definitely want to visit the Rodin when we are there this summer. Hope we have the time to relax in the lounge chairs!

Enjoying your trip report. Reliving many of our trips through you and your wonderful pictures.

Lovely!

Enjoyed all the photos, sharbear :)

I looked up your restaurant. How divine!

Thanks for posting those photos. It is great to hear about others' experiences. I am glad the tickets worked out. Hope the rest of the trip goes well.

Great pics! Taillevant looks awesome! What did you dine on?

And here is my post on Taillevent! http://www.eatdreamtravel.com/2012/0...ree-stars.html

p.s. Went to Monet's house/gardens finally!

Have you ever been inside the Rodin Museum? It is one of the most romantic museums I've ever visited. Guess that gives you something to look forward to :-) Really. Very romantic. Camille Claudel's work is well represented, and there are some charming film clips as well!

But the garden does stand alone, as you discovered, as an engaging exhibition. Those giant doors are fantastic.

Ahhh perhaps I should have gone to the museum, although I think parts of it are under renovation right now. I just didn't have a ton of energy at the time and had been spending too much money, so opted for just the garden. But you're right, something to look forward to for next time!

Last May I just went to the gardens and enjoyed them so much. Had gone in the house years ago. The gardens are a destination in themselves IMHO. Am enjoying your stay sooo much. Vicarious living keeps some of us going.

Im glad I can help!!
