After Charlie and Sam's first week of school I head off on the day after my 34th birthday to meet mum in Paris for a girl's week. Despite an emotional start to the week with my bursting into tears in the taxi from the airport because I was worried that I was traumatizing Charlie and Sam by making them go to school in a foreign language, the week was fantastic.
PARIS
Highlight - being able to shop and eat as much as we wanted, and eat tartare and drink wine and not have any pizza or pasta for a whole week!
Lowlight - getting used to cigarettes everywhere (good for mum!), and baaaaaad coffee

ISTANBUL...Turkish is a hard language to even get a 'hello' around
Highlight - finding the best rugs ever in the Grand Bazzaar
Lowlight - discovering how expensive they are, that they don't haggle and that I can't afford them (glad I didn't have to haggle anyway, I'm a disaster in the haggle department)
