At the Dallas Airport — enjoying champagne in the Flagship Lounge

Waiting to board my flight to CDG in Paris. This will be my first visit — very excited! Decided to go with a simple watch — not too eye-catching — the Rolex OP39 — plus three fountain pens from Namiki, Yard O Led, and Montblanc!

Are Flagship lounges any good anymore?

I find almost all USA Airline lounges to be awful these days. United Airline Polaris' lounges being a notable exception. They don't serve good champagne though. All I want is Moet, that's not extremely expensive! Any pics of the pens? Enjoy Paris!

I thought this Flagship Lounge was very good — nice wine selection, hot and cold foods buffet offered plenty of choices.

I fly American Airlines all the time and Admirals Clubs vary in quality. But, they are still better than sitting at a noisy gate! I will post some pen photos once I arrive in Paris.

Bon voyage!

Le ville de Paris est un beau ville. Your first time! Wow! That means you'll have to do all the touristy stuff! Where are you staying?

Hotel Odeon — on Rue de L’Odeon — near Blvd. St. Germaine.

I have spent a great deal of time in Copenhagen and Budapest — but, never Paris. Already loving it!

Sounds good!

Ahh! You're staying in Left Bank! Good to know. I'm usually in the Place Vendome or Opera area. But I would like to stay in Left Bank next time. Let me know if this Hotel Odeon on Rue de L'Odeon is any good. It's super confusing because there's a Hotel Od... 

It is considered a three star hotel —

Clean, charming, within minutes walk of the Odeon Metro. My room has a wonderful view of the Eiffel Tower. I am very pleased, Patrick.

Fantastic choice! The white dial OPs have a special subtle character…

and presence that never dominate, all the while somehow enhancing any environment. No better watch for museums, architecture and cultural situations. For a trip to Paris it is actually perfect in my opinion. Enjoy!

Thank you! I have a ticket to the Louvre; I may also go to the Musee d’Orsay.

I mainly want to walk, explore, take photos, and drink good coffee and wine!

Good progam.

A great city for walking... Musee d'Orsay is a must. Even higher priority than Louvre.

Everyone likes the Orsay - and if you love Impressionist paintings, the Orsay has the best collection. Walking is a great way to discover Paris... The architecture is wonderful. There's a lot of beauty in Paris. I can't say much about the coffee (I don't ... 

Enjoy your trip! Love that white dial OP!
