I've actually been listening to it as an audiobook in the car since I have to do a lot of driving for work.  Sometimes I find myself sitting in my parking garage for an extra 15 minutes because I don't want to stop listening!

Laura we really enjoyed seeing Versailles with the fat tyre bike company. If you want to go to Euro Disney you can catch a train rather than going with a tour company and paying a fortune. Loved euro Disney, and I have a little mini mouse bowl with red polka dots that I pull out often and  have a silent reminisce. When we were there it didn't get dark until 10pm. I think I'd love to go live in either Paris or London to get to know it better. This year we're off to Barcelona, Croatia, and Prague. Any tips for these destinations will always be well received  :-*

Oh wow, that sounds like a great trip to Versailles, we will definitely try that. Not really Disney people though, and we don't have kids, so we'll probably take a pass on that. Enjoy your Europe trip, I loved Prague! I would suggest a day in nearby cesky krumlov if you can spare the time.

Well, it's only 11 days until my sisters and I fly out to Paris via KL! So busy lately, no time to even think about it! DD has had her baby (another post all about this) and I'm madly cooking and freezing food for DH.

We have lots of tours booked, but I can't remember where we're going. I'll just leave it to my big sis to tell me what I'm doing each day!

That's exactly what I like to do Meagan, follow the leader - have had to make too many decisions for too many people over the years so I like being told what we are doing today if I can get away with it.  Have a wonderful holiday, you will want to hurry back to see how the new grandson is going.  What did they call him?

Arrived in Paris this morning after a fabulous flight in luxury business class, Malaysia Airlines. Got lost doing a bit of grocery shopping and spent two hours wandering the streets!
Tomorrow is a lay day for us and we plan to get our bearings and plan the rest of our days here. Monday is Fontainbleau and Vaux Le Vicompte Chateaux.
