Travelling to Paris alone might be something you've always wanted to do. Or maybe it's your only option. Corralling your friends into a girls' vacation simply can be difficult, and your partner's work schedule is out of whack. Things like weddings, honeymoons, work life and cash and, sorry to say, a difficult pal can get in the way.
