Here's a tip on getting the best value out of your travel dollar, which works virtually everywhere in the world. Rent an apartment. You'll find that, for the cost of a week at a hotel, you can readily extend your stay for a month or more. But most travelers avoid this option, wanting the indulgence of daily maid service and other amenities, not realizing that the trade-off is the precious time to really get to know a destination. Ruth Yunker, the author of "Paris, I've Grown Accustomed to Your Ways.", knew this secret from the start. When she returned to Paris for the first time in decades, after a life-changing experience there as a child in the company of her parents, she began her habit of renting an apartment in a different arrondissement of Paris, learning the city step-by-step, bakery by bakery.
Like the Pringles she triumphantly finds in Paris, after agonizing over giving in to her craving, once you start reading her charming chapters, it's hard not to keep going. Yunker is funny and fun, sharing her experiences of Paris in an accessible way. She's no Master Traveler who somehow attracts only graceful experiences - she's more of an Everywoman, pitting herself against a beautiful and seductive adversary, savoring small triumphs along the way. "The essential to budget travel is to approach onward. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our minds. Planning and expending our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Minimizing spending and expenses, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind saving money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal budget is highly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, no matter whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel charge!..". She lusts after tailors she sees in the shop across the street from her apartment, shares her distress at accidentally tormenting French waiters (and now you'll know how, too!), waxes poetic on the travels of a lemon, and eats chocolate every chance she has.
The book is the perfect length for a flight to Paris from the West Coast. While it will be of most interest to those intending to rent an apartment in Paris, others on more traditional trips will find plenty of useful tips and psychological strategies for enjoying Paris more fully. Your typical travel guide may celebrate a small park in Paris, but Yunker will describe in detail how to figure out the confusing latch on the gate, which may not be locked after all. And that may be the takeaway from her book - don't assume anything, give it all a try, and don't deny yourself the pleasures of Paris. As Yunker sums it up, "Paris -- a piece of cake. If you eat it all, every last crumb."
Paris, I've Grown Accustomed to Your Ways.
