Links I Love Week 10
It was a busy week between wrapping up taxes to send to my accountant and finalizing details on The Paris Guide. Daylight savings didn’t help, and I had trouble sleeping all week. Highlights of the week included seeing The Paris Guide almost complete, and it is informative and beautiful. I have been planning my Paris trip for spring simultaneously, which has helped me write some sections. April is going to be a good month!

Thank you, Sue! Seeing a local Chicago spot elevates our museum dining experience is a bonus. We need an extra boost in that area.
Especially enjoyed the passport stamp article! It mentioned travelers who had just gone through Heathrow and received stamps. So interesting since I was in Heathrow in October 2019 and received none! Mine was done via facial recognition. Sad to see them go.
There are a lot of changes happening with travel, especially with the increase in traffic to Europe post-pandemic and technology upgrades. I love my passport stamps and have recently renewed mine and look forward to getting new stamps from my travels.
Fantastic as always! You always find and share so many wonderful links.
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! xo
