It's a Carnival ship, it has NOTHING to do with Costa anymore.

It literally has a Costa funnel. Lol

Oh man, I am a dummy.  I thought he was going over there beforehand to do some training.... like he had international affiliates of a company he was going to to receive or give training.  Not to do some "training", like ALL ABOARD! ChooChoo.  Carry on.... where were we? 🤪🤣

Same! My first thought was that bummer, my husband’s most exciting training locals have been Orlando and Boston. Then, the phrasing confused me, THEN I finally got it. 
 

This is a very cool trip report and you’ve barely started. Excited to follow along.

Walking from my hotel to Musee d'Orsay, in this pic you can see D'Orsay (left), Seine River,  and Louvre (right).

I'm getting hungry after seeing  the people eating, I'm off to Van Gigh and then walking to a Vietnamese restaurant that caught my attention for lunch.

Love that museum.  Color me jealous but happy for you,

My legs are hardly holding up at this point after constant walking from 830am until 230pm. I hope the food is as good as the menu is large. There was a line so I almost changed plans for the sandwich shop next door...

[IntrepidFromDC]

It's chilly and raining,  good day for pho, and it was delicious. Now it must be 5 o'clock somewhere...

[IntrepidFromDC]

Practically next door,  how convenient...

[IntrepidFromDC]

Set 'em up Joe and play Walking The Floor...

Dinner tonight,  just cuz I miss my charcoal grill...

I posted a pic of the outside of the hotel yesterday,  here's the room. Note what looks like it must be roof support practically in the middle of the room. Sure enough,  the elevator only goes to the 5th floor and I am on the top floor,  6. The elevator has the old-fashioned cagey manual exterior door as well as the vintage 1930 interior automatic "I think I can" door.
