Kyriad - Mlv St Thibault Des Vignes Marne-la-Vallée

... occasionally they make an Endor moon announcement in English. I actually find it quite relaxing to be surrounded by voices I cannot understand. Usually this would stress me out, but waiting here in line I find I can just drift into my own thoughts without being distracted by conversations around me. The line does seem to move slowly though and I begin to get anxious about the fast pass. We finally board and the attraction is just like its US ...

... We told him to stay where he was. It was Mum who came next, she got stuck too. The last was Dad, no problem. After we all got down, we had to find Rigel (or as our guide said, "evacuate"). Rigel got down, we got our coats, dropped of our harnesses, and went home: cold, sore, and tired. I felt really proud of myself for doing the adventure. I wish I could have done all the levels. -Devon Shulist.       

... Valentino, Channel and dozens of other designer stores along with embassies from Japan, Britain and hotels such as the Ritz (I bet they have bigger rooms!). On our first day we wandered around Paris, stopped a few times for a beer in a café and went to Avenue Gourgard named after a distant uncle of mine that was one of Napeolean's Generals, then had dinner in the Latin Quarter, strolled by the Seine and after getting back to our hotel after 11pm, we ...

... The selection of paintings included were of women with animals and were painted in pastels and grays. Her work reminds me of a present-day artist whom I'm enamored with, Carole Orr. I bought this painting in 2000 from her, and it hangs above our fireplace in our living room (I told you I spent all my money on art when I was in college). Thankfully, her prices were lower then. I have two viewfinders at home of art from Musee d'Orsay and the ...

... just one of those small things to make you laugh and brighten your day. Our final meal vouchers were used at the Lucky Nugget Salon in Frontierland, where we enjoyed a fun character lunch buffet that normally goes for a hefty €30, without drinks. We both had a great time here with the live jazz band and characters running around mingling. Special mention must be made of Pluto and Goofy who were both great fun and went to efforts to involve everyone, even us "grown-ups". Goofy ...

... the "worlds best" ice cream. Quite frankly while Berthillons may be one of Paris oldest I would give the nod to Hagen Daz.Now in order to be fair we also will have to sample the gelato and Ben and Jerry's in oder to give a complete opinion. Oh the trials we must bear. Then we walked by a bar called the ...

... lights and neon puppets, and we chuckled at the multi-lingual Mickey and Donald in the show. From there we went to the Parisian version of the Magic Kingdom, and we indulged in the beauty of the Sleeping Beauty castle. From there we rode Thunder Mountain Railroad, which really wasn't very different at all from the one in the states, and my husband rode the Euro Space Mountain, which is much more thrilling than the ...

... where we had an amazing view from the Palias du Chaillot to the Eiffel Tower . We then walked down to the Eiffel Tower and after assessing the queues (loooong), and discussing whether to walk up or take the lift (I pushed for the lift), we proceeded to spend an hour or so in line with a million Americans, Londoners, and other tourists. Thanks heavens we took the lift! That thing is tall. We went to the second and top levels, and basked in the sensational views ...

... great idea to go looking for a flat at a church in the first place. I relied totally on the internet, which was a mistake. Talking of which, the work at the company with the three big letters is all right. People here are calm and cool. They invite my colleagues and I to drink coffee every day. They share our problems with us. They want to know where we live and what we are doing. They are interested in our private lives. Not for putting it into some paper that will ...

... The Venus de Milo and Mona Lisa are, of course, the big crowd draws, but to me, they were the least interesting. I had way more fun wandering through the worlds of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Mesopotamia, and so on. Seeing these collections - the intricacy and the effort that went into them, and their completely alien nature - brought home the idea that these cultures viewed the world in an incredibly different light than we do. I wondered, as I saw the huge ...
