Pre-marriage, both John & Sarah loved to go international. If counting countries was a competition, John won (not that we're competitive). So, it was only natural that together, they would want to explore and experience different cultures and countries. Their current goal is one international trip a year, and they hope you'll join them as they tend to be the trips they most look forward to! Spoiler Alert (sorry parents): They do have an agreement that they have to visit at least 50 countries before they start talking about kids...that's how much they love traveling. Don't worry, though, having a puppy only requires they have a yard.
Our first city in Europe on our honeymoon was the City of Love (Paris, France). After spending a night in Keflavik, Iceland, we flew from Iceland to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. John reserved a hotel that was on the opposite side of France, meaning we had to get onto three different metro lines to get to the closest metro station. After departing our last metro station (finally!), we walked quite a few blocks to get to the hotel. The Hôtel des Amis (re named Hôtel le Petit Château) was snuggled beside other apartments and houses in the quiet and cute town of Malakoff. We were exhausted from all of the flights, trains, subways, and walking, but were greeted with a friendly hotel owner who reminded us of Maurice from Beauty and the Beast. We realized quite quickly that he didn't speak any English and we didn't speak very much French (aka: none).
