Last morning in Paris.
Bear happens to be traveling Air France Premium Voyageur. He knows as deluxe as Premium V. is, the food is economy, so Bear will grab a few petit sandwiches for the trip.
Bien sur, Bear would really love to stay behind and forgetabout NYC.
C'est la vie. Bear goes one last time to Fauchon to say his goodbyes to Fauchon Bear.Au revoir a bientot!
A last stop at Printemps just to check. We've discovered there's a new promotion every 2 weeks on the ground floor. Remember the Mad Hatter's Tea Party a week ago? This week it's the new Miss Dior Cherie promotion and we get a scented pink ribbon souvenir. miam
At CDG duty-free there's a beauty shop.Bear, traveling Premium Voyageur sailed through check-in as a V.I.P. passenger, so he walzes in, tests a few French purfs before boarding.
Bear is very busy testing every $$$ purf in sight - all for parfum researche bien sur.
Bear is a tad dyslexic and reads this sign as EXCLUSIVE TRAVELLER. He's feeling his oats definitivement! 
BEAR boards via the special VIP entrance and drools over the waiting bottles of water. These bottles are so worth the extra $$$ Bear paid for PV seats without a doubt.
The giant movie screen is nothing to sniff at. Plus no one's head can flop back into your lap - the seats are stationary. WOWZA!
Fancy headphones, extra nice pillows and thick blanket, special reading light...
Bear is one happy clam, ready to knuckle down and do a little inflight sketching.
Little does Bear know that his seating companion, mysterious Monsieur Up-In-The-Air will distract him from getting a lick of work done. The AirFrance head burser knows frequent-flyer, M.Up-In-the-Air and offers us 1st class wine in real glasses, Grand Cru Bordeaux Chateau Pichon-Langville
Bear can't help notice the bracelet of big BLACK PEARLS(!) Monsieur is wearing. What? 
Monsieur brings out his i-Phone (Bear instantly covets) and shows off his collection of hand-made black pearl jewelry he sells. Bear is confused. Which does he covet more: The i-Phone or the stunning black pearl jewelry?
The jewelry is available at Urban Zen, New York, Donna Karan's consept store.
Also in M.'s shop in Saint Tropez and at exclusive St. Barts. He gets the pearls from Tahiti. No wonder he has all this extra milage.
Bear is drooling like crazy.
Monsieur's shed in St. Trop. 
Rusty the dog, on Monsieur's boat in St. Barts. Instantly love.
Hence forth, Bear will never travel anything but AirFrance Premium Voyageur. This has been one big Premium adventure!BONJOUR AirFrance Premium Voyageur!
Hello New York
PS
Bear wishes to disclose that he didn't receive a free trip from AirFrance nor any black pearls from anyone. Bear's email is on the right just in case.
