This is the most difficult and bittersweet trip I have ever made in my whole life. A trip without DH and Isabelle for a total of 14 days!!
The first 2 days was a struggle, missing both DH and Isabelle terribly. Every sight of a daddy and a little girl reminds me of them and brings tears to my eyes. And almost every moment, I regretted my decision to take up this trip and I was drowned in the sea of guilt and lousy homesickness. Long trip it is, but I made it through.
Here are some photos to share:

Wah...u pinjam passport to buy the bags ar? Last time there was a limit of 2 bags each.....
I would say its a good trip/decision you made. You can always make it up later to DH and Isabelle for another Europe trip.
Sigh I miss Europe a lot and would definitely want to go there again...
Hey Rachel,
No need to pinjam passports la, can buy more than 2 bags now as long as it is different design. I did 'book' some passports from my tourmates though incase I need them. Play safe ;)
Thank you for comforting me that this trip was a good decision. Yeah, it was and was really an eye-opening experience.
warghh. i gulped at the french damage! is it really that cheap? can't even afford one. hahah
Hey Carolyn!
It is about 30% cheaper than buying them in Msia. Plus, we get 10-12% tax return too! And, it is like everyday we get to go to paris :) (ok, this is just to console myself for the damage!)
