Paris Anyone ?

Check the airfares. The airlines are adding fuel surcharges that are bringing up the fares considerably.

Thanks for the info

Merci

That is the extent of my French

Roxy.....if you want PM me your email, and I'll send you the link at kodak.com of my Paris pix from our trip in 2004.

and actually ordering now for January it's only $35 cheaper to go into London from NYC, rather than Paris..(hence the Eurostar adds a bunch to your trip price)...Air India is $507 to Paris, to London they are $486.

But...I would look every couple of weeks, and seriously look in mid October every week.

Anticipating a trip is half the fun.

I went to Paris last fall and loved it. Keep us posted with the details.

If you are going to do the London thing, I wouldn't mess with Eurostar... airlines like ryan air and easyjet are REALLY cheap. We are talking $30-60 throughout Europe.

I would suggest finding the cheapest flight to any of the big W. European cities and see if you can get a flight on Ryan Air or Easyjet into Paris. I think the last time I went we flew from Florence.

Have fun! I can barely look at my pictures of Europe because I miss the area so much.

I'm calling Fox News and the Post to tell them you're going to FRANCE. What a lilly livered liberal YOU turned out to be. What next, sissyman, pate and quiche?

I now only fly Virgin. Even coach seems like first class on that airline

This summer, we fly to Heathrow, take a short jaunt on Air France to Charles de Gaule, rent a car, stay a week with friends in Paris and then drive to the South of France for three weeks where we stay with friends who have a lovely home in the mountains and a big pool that overlooks the countryside.

Coming home, we're taking Virgin First Class. THAT should be a treat. My only goal is to bring back 2 cases of my favorite champagne which is not exported to the USA at all. (I have to go to the actual vineyard where it is made to buy it.) Once home wih it, I will dole it only to the worthy. (LIke on Seinfield when Elaine put boyfriends through the "sponge-worthiness" inquisition.)

I will ship my clothes back by mail to have enough room for the champagne. It's simply the best. Better than Taittinger, Veuve Cliquot, even Drappier...and you cannot get it in the USA anywhere.

So if I deem you 'pagne-worthy, you may get to partake. The quiz you will cover three categories:

1) your political views
2) your literary prefereces
3) your attitude toward gay men kissing right on the Tony awards live broadcast.

If you disagree with me on any of these things, you're drinkin' Totts because you haven't earned a place in the pantheon of pagne yet...and probably never will.

Besides, I have plenty of money to spend on champagne because the trip itself is FREE.

I feel it is my duty to help dispel the terrible image of Americans that the French have by being polite, intelligent, well-read, cultured, well-educated, liberal, sympathetic and embarrassed by out current White House administration. I will also be refraining from asking everyone "Where's the ketchup?" and insisting my mayonnaise come out of a jar. I promise, also, not to threaten to "kick someone's ass" as it is a commonly held belief of the French that we are a country of violence.

Oh, I read the topic heading and thought it to be about that dreadful Hilton girl. I guess if it were the topic would have been Paris everyone? I mean, hasn't everyone been there?

if it was about "her" the title would read (we can hope) 'Is Paris Burning?"

I'm flying Virgin for the first time this summer. I'll fly into London and then take Ryan Air down to the Pyrenees. My European friends tell me that Ryan is a very good airline.

One of the advantages of the Eurostar is that you arrive in the heart of any city you travel to. Airports are usually a considerable distance from the city center. Last year I took the EuroStar from Paris to Amsterdam and the "Botel" I was staying at was a short walk to the left of the Centraal Station. I couldn't have asked for more convenience.
