The Marvelous Misadventures Of Americans In Paris; Part 2

Yes! The long awaited Part 2! (funny how the second part always seems to take the longest to arrive!) Before I get started, I just have a quick correction/announcement to make; I posted my chick jars craft on my blog for the collab Anna and I are doing, but normally we will do guest posts on each other's blogs. If that made no sense, don't worry, it won't make much difference! Also, the translations for what the dolls are saying when speaking in French are in parentheses in front of the French. Or, just stick it in google translate, because I am so dedicated, that I actually used accurate, correct French for this photostory!

AND NOW;

The dolls have landed in Paris, and are planning to meet up at parkingceau hotel.....

Maryellen strode up to the check in counter and said, in flawless French

''Réservation de suite pour Larkin/Parkington?'' (reservation for Larkin/Parkington?)

The woman leaned over the list of reservations......

''Il n’y a pas de réservation de ce nom,''(there is no reservation of that name) The woman said, shaking her head.

''But....but...'' Maryellen wasn't sure what to say. But she regained her composure, and said; ''Veuillez revoir s’il vous plaît''  (kindly look again, please!)

Once again, the woman shook her head, saying ''Je suis désolé, mais il n’y a pas!'' (I'm sorry, but there is not!)

Maryellen opened and shut her mouth repeatedly. She had made a reservation. She'd received the confirmation email! (man, was that hard to translate!) So, in desperation, she cried ''J’ai fait une réservation ! Pourquoi n’est-il pas là !'' (I made a reservation! why isn't it here?)

''Madam, Il n’y a aucune réservation ici !''  (Ma'am, there is no reservation!) The French woman said coldly.

Maryellen was on the verge of yelling, but Adalyn quickly grabbed her arm saying; ''C'mon, Ellie, there's another hotel across the street-maybe they have a spare room!''

After storming across the Parisian street, Maryellen pushed the door of a second hotel open. She opened her mouth to ask if there were any rooms available, when the French clerk looked up, and asked; ''Vous êtes la réserve Larkin-Parkington ?''  (would you be the Larkin-Parkington reservation?)

Maryellen jerked her head up, shocked. ''Pourquoi, oui !'' (why, yes!)

The clerk consulted her list of rooms and suites.

''quatrième étage, salle 432.'' (fourth floor, room 432.) She gestured to the stairs. ''et Bienvenue à l’hôtel Parkinceau.'' (and welcome to Parkinceau hotel)

Finally, in their hotel room....

I would have made this longer, but I can't get the SD card reader for my camera to work. (argh!!) So in the meantime, stay tuned for the rest of this photostory!

The Marvelous Misadventures Of Americans In Paris; Part 1

Yes!! MY FIRST EVER PHOTOSTORY!!!! Well, technically, it's mine and my friends-her dolls are co-starring. A HUGE thank you to you and your dolls-I couldn't have done it without you! Okay, I know, I know, mushy stuff is boring. So Now, Say hello to;

''Oh my goodness WE ARE 12.5 SECONDS LATE!!'' Maryellen cried as she and Adalyn hustled their way down the airport halls to catch a plane to Paris.

''Ellie! Take a chill pill! 13 seconds is NOT going to make us miss our flight!'' Adalyn had a touch of annoyance in her voice

Just then their friends they were traveling with arrived. ''Hi, Ellie! Hi Adalyn! Ready for Paris??'' ''Oh, most definitely! Are you and Caroline all packed?''

''Ok, everyone; here's the plan; We'll be sitting on different parts of the plane, but we'll meet up at the hotel-got it?'' Everyone nodded. '' The good news is that we're 20 minutes early for boarding!''

''Oh...I guess I better get my watch fixed...''

Later, on the plane;

Adalyn was digging through her bag, apparently looking for something. Ellie was relaxing, with her legs daintily crossed, her hands clasped in her lap. Except for the fact that her knuckles were completely white.....

''Goodness, Adalyn, won't this be just Magnifique? In Paris, relaxing all day....''

Adi said, without looking up; ''Spit it out Ellie-what is it?''

''What if I look like an American in Paris?!? It would be terrible!!''

''Um...I hate to break it to ya, but you're going to BE an American in Paris no matter what you wear.''

''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''' Ellie's cry of despair rang out through the aisle.

Adalyn; *facepalm*

A stewardess hurried over and asked ''Is everything all right?'', interrupting Ellie's dramatic yell. ''Oh, yes, yes, certainly, I was..ah...practicing my..uh...singing! Yes, I was singing!'' Maryellen had never looked so sheepish.

Ellie looked at Adalyn and whispered; ''This is SUCH a disaster!!! What am I going to do??? An AMERICAN  in PARIS!!!!-''

Adi groaned and leaned against the headrest; ''I cannot spend five hours like this....''

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Plane......

Samantha; happily unplugged, and reading a book.

Caroline; Intensely plugged-in, and engrossed in ''TempleRun2''

Suddenly Samantha turned around. ''CAROLINE!!!!!!!!!''

.

''Hold on! Just lemme finish this level-oops......'' Caroline realized Samantha had forbidden her from electronics for the whole trip.

''Yes, about that level.''

 ''It was an accident!! Honest, Samantha! And how do you expect me to LIVE without Pinterest? Social media is LIFE-''

Samantha cut her off. ''Give it.''

''NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''

Stewardess; *bangs head on wall*

Caroline got up in disgust. ''I'M going to go get a snack-you haven't confiscated my wallet have you?''

''Oh, Caroline.'' was all Samantha said.

Or maybe not.

TO BE CONTINUED........
