I made my way through the trip eating great French salads...wonderful... I held off on having too many pastries..although they were available in every other store! I also had a baguette or two, but quickly walked them off!

I think my favourite meal was in Honfleur.. I had a great dinner with fish and risotto. The food in Normandy is fantastic!

We definitely had a lot of desserts and bread last week :-)

Producer Jen, that's a tough question. We still haven't featured the Bordeaux region of France.

JunoBeachCentre, we definitely did. I had never had Calvados before.

I tried Calvados and Benedictine and Cognac the same day...the tasting one that particular day continued a little after the show ended!

I just got my Fitbit report, and while steps are one thing, I'm more inclined to look at the number of calories I burned off...and that's why I climbed the Eiffel tower!

Nilesh, you're definitely right. The crew was amazing.

Thanks Sandra..!

Alas, I did not do just carry on. Although I only took one extra pair of shoes, I needed a different outfit for each day of the show, and I also tried to wear something different when I was shooting our individual pieces that ran on the show..ex, Giverny, Paris tour, Versailles. Also, I had to be prepared in case there was a seagull 'incident'...and there was!

Just to clarify, we were not on the actual ship as it sailed. We travelled by car to our remote locations, and we did this because of timing. We actually met up with the Scenic Gem in Honfleur, but by not being on the boat, we were able to do shows in Paris, Rouen and Normandy. These are all places the cruise goes and people get to tour. We did a show from the boat, just like last August, and it can only be described as impressive..and the people on the boat love it. Our crew consisted of four people, and with only 64 rooms on board, getting all of us a spot wasn't feasible.!
