Day 2 - Paris - Picture perfect view!

On day 2 of our trip, we woke up early. Looking around the room, we could have been any where. The window in our room looked straight down into the lobby of the hotel. I was feeling a little disappointed with the view. Even a service lane or another building would've been better, at least it would've helped make it feel like we were in Paris.

The boring view from our first room!

Heading to breakfast, I stopped and asked at reception if there were any rooms available with an outside view. It never hurts to ask! Unfortunately they were totally booked out. Still feeling somewhat hopeful, I asked if they would please put our name down on a wait list, just in case anything did become available...got to love traveling as a Platinum member!

After a big day out and a few souvenir stores later, we arrived back at the hotel. It was around 3pm, time to get ready for our night on the town. On arriving back I asked at the front desk if there by some chance had been a cancellation....WHOOO HOOO! Yes mam! My new happy place! I loved the little Parisian balcony with the buzz from the street below.

There was a cancellation and not only for a room with a view, but a king-suite with a balcony, over looking the champs elysees, Arch de Triumph and the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower sticking its head up to say hi! Directly across from our room.

We were giddy with excitement! Holly Cow, I couldn't believe it!! We jumped on the bed, danced around the room, made idiots of ourselves waving down to the street below...what a rush! We felt like rock star's getting the VIP treatment.
It was funny, at first we were just so taken in with the view of the street, that we did not even notice the Eiffle tower, poking out behind the building in front of us. When we noticed that, you would've thought I won the lottery. It was all I could do to not scream...lol!
The amazing view from our room, looking up toward the Arc De Triumph

A postcard I found in a souvenir store, nearly the exact same view...love it!

What an amazing view to go to sleep too and then wake up too in the morning! Ahhhh!
