    I always wake up early on Thursday just so I can be ready to watch your videos!! You are such an inspiration, as a Godly wife, mother, and daughter of the true King.
    Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.
    2 Corinthians 9:13

    I loved to learn from your travel experience that it is possible to plan it cheaply. I'd forgotten about air b+b and definitely want to explore that as an option. I've never left my Country and I'm a bit intimidated by the idea and what's involved but l won't let that stop me doing it. Thank you for sharing your experiences and what works and I'll definitely be saving this video to watch again before l make any plans!! It was lovely to see some clips from your Paris video again; so pleased you and Nolan were able to see Notre Dame Cathedral while it was whole and beautiful. Hope you're having a good week Jeanine and the sun is shining for you all. 😊❤

    Interesting hints and ones I've learned through the years. :) Paris is one place I've been fortunate enough to visit 4 or 5 times I love the Eiffel Tower so much that I do go up it each time I go there. :) My son and I learned that it was fun to go to a bakery and cheese shop and then to a grocery to get fruit and drink for our lunches. I am so fortunate to have been able to travel overseas a number of times. II look forward to seeing more of your travel vlogs. :)

    Several years ago I went to Paris with a dear Italian friend. We were visiting her cousin in Turin. We took the train to Paris, stayed at a small hotel. We were only there for 3 days but we did a lot. Instead of trying to learn the subway and bus routes, we got a 3 day pass on the double decker tour buses. We hopped on and off where we wanted. While on the bus we plugged our earphones in to hear the tour guide. We learned a lot and saw a great deal of Paris. In the evenings we strolled to one of the local cafes near our hotel for dinner.

    Another tip to save money travelling is to find some travel buddies. My wife and I travelled Italy with another couple. We rented 2 bedroom air bnbs and split the cost of the car rental. Did most things together but also took days and evenings to ourselves. Great job on the tips and the video .

    I totally agree with your philosophy on credit cards even though I'm a Dave Ramsey fan as well. I use the Chase Freedom card. You can opt to use those points for things like gift cards, but I just use the points as a credit toward my purchases. It isn't limited to any particular purchase.
    I didn't enjoy Paris like a lot of other European destinations. However, I loved Versailles and have been there twice. Totally worth it. If you have an extended time to tour, backpacking and using the rail system and hostels is a good way to see a lot of Europe. Germany is my favorite country.

    Thanks for all the travel and financial wisdom! We use our credit card as a debit card. Hubs has me trained to turn in any receipts at the end of the day (or the trip) so they're recorded. It isn't often that I hear those dreaded words, "Try to go easy on the spending this month". The Lord gifted hubby with financial wisdom, and I gratefully comply. Gotta go, hungry for crepes and macaroons.
