... help you find a place"; · "I'm too busy to call anybody to help you find a place. Just call some places yourself...everybody speaks English" (which I found out not to be true when I made my first call; nonetheless I clearly understood the dial tone when the guy hung up on me); · "All of Paris is full...you will find no hotel rooms here!"; · "I have my contact on the phone...we are lucky as he has found you a room for 200 Euros (CAD$300 ...

... I assured him if he kept walking he would make it fine J Our flights were not too bad. We got our own TV's and I slept a little on each of them. The Air France flight felt gourmet compared to the Delta flight. I think this shows a lot about the state of the American economy because they charged you for food and movies and bags while Air France gave you all of these things for free. We finally arrived ...

... our train by 5 minutes. We had to re-book with a charge of £50 each!!!! added on to the original price we had paid. We had hours to wait for the next train at 4pm. We were the only ones in the station and having slept a bit on the ferry, we were all getting excited about seeing Paris. We played cards, ran around, fed ourselves from the vendors and had an absolute ball in there. We finally got on the train and got on the tube to our hotel. We were knackered by the ...

Ok so I'm cheating and adding in entries after the fact because we just haven't had time to get onto the internet properly!! No dramas on the trip over - highly recommend always getting vegetarian meals on the planes - much more tasty than what they pass off as chicken and meat... British Airways have awesome entertainment - about a hundred movies and TV shows to choose ...

My time in Paris was absolutely wonderful. John, Megan and I really kept moving to see everything we wanted. I am glad to be resting a little in Chambery now. Here's everything we did and a few notes and photos. DISCLAIMER: This week was CRAZY! If your eyes start to blur, your muscles start to weaken or your mouth starts to get dry while reading, take a break. In just reading all that we did, you are ...

... temps passe vite. Y'a tant de choses à voir. Et vers 18 et 19h, c'est bourré de gens. Ils font leur shopping pour le souper.....excuse-moi....le dîner. En France, tu déjeunes et tu dînes. Pas surprenant que les Français sont maigres. Excepté Pierre qui se fait agacer par Sophie pour sa petite bédaine. Il va falloir qu'il aille à la gym. On a ramassé de l'italien, du pain, des fromages (ici tu n'achètes pas seulement un fromage), du dessert, du vin. Et la Sophie nous ...

... afterwards was insane and the streets were worse than any santa barbara halloween ive seen. But it was FUN. today we visited the eiffel tower again with kristina, lisa, and jamie. tyler and them went to the top but i stayed down since ive seen it before and am on budget. so walked through the quaint and quiet streets except ...

... of all of Paris. We just missed sunset, but my goodness lam so glad we went! Paris all of a sudden right in front of our eyes became the Paris of my dreams, the Paris of Hollywood. All of Paris was twinkling below us, to our right the Sacre Cour was brightly illuminated on Montemarte hill, the Arch de Triumph and Champs twinkled alluringly and all of a sudden the Eiffel Tower began to sparkle! Janette and l just sat still and starred at one of the most beautiful sights l have ever seen ...

... the XY boys, a rockabilly quartet that could knock your socks off. On the bass was Eric, a character straight outta Spinal Tap, the drummer Roberto, an aging mental head case, Chris on lead guitar who puts Cmel to shame, and the lead singer Mr. Gordon himself, the next coming of elvis. The crowd ranging from 15 year old swedish boys, to drunkard englishman, to indy rocker chicks did not disappoint either, singing every lyric to every song. These ...

... Airport. Let me tell you one thing, WE WERE LOST in the airport!! I couldn't believed that we were lost in the airport for almost an hour for finding a bus stop which takes us to the city center. It was so embarrassed! It was raining and pretty cold that morning. Around 10:00 a.m., we arrived at the city center. It was really a beautiful city! Everywhere was like magic! I was just wondering who was the magician who made that city such a wonderful ...
