Bought the Air! Couldn't wait much longer...so saw a fare on Delta..going operated by Air France, coming back on Delta(I'll miss the back of the seat movies ..they are supposed to be adding them..but first to flights over 11 hrs.)but it is only about $8 more than I paid last Sept. so.......I don't think it is going to go much lower for non-stops. Now I just have to steel myself to not checking fares! (nod to Happy ) Plan are spending the first 4 nites in Brittany..taking TGV straight from CDG to Rennes and then one from Quimper to Montparnasse back to Paris. Don't know about you but once I hit that purchase button I start dancing around the room! ;D

Good job, Geordy! Yes, let's see pics of that happy dance. Better yet, post a video! I've been watching and waiting to find a good deal on July airfare and finally gave up and bit the bullet. While I was at it I booked our Oct. flights too, and got a much better deal on those.

Flight starts on the 4th You know me and photos just go to the NYCB or ABT weebsite and you'll get the general idea No car Jody...we don't drink and drive..period..not even a thimble full And since we are city people and don't deal with cars regularly..why the hassle on vac?? Things that are normal for everyday drivers would be "hassles" for us! We always manage without!

;D I am so happy for you. But I am also a wee bit jealous. Since this year is for Hubby, it will be Norway and Denmark and family and maybe a yet unmet Danish friend. But I have been missing Paris since we returned in October and the PPD gets worse knowing it will be two years, if everything works out before returning. I haven't posted on the trip because I think it will just heighten the longing. So I am just vicariously enjoying all the pictures and posts.

Geordy, great news!!! How come I'm not surprised? I know that you're always there on the 12th. Enjoy Brittany and have an authentic kouigh amman (those wonderdul Breton pastries). I have to do with the Parisian version. Hope to see you in Paris in September!!! bisous, Lilia

geordy, I simply can't keep myself from checking those darned airfares now that I've bought for January. The good thing is that, so far, they've only gone up....which I can't quite figure out, but then, who can figure airfares?? That countdown is FUN! It's like being a little kid anticipating Christmas

Thought I'd add something here....so the d$%#ed spammer is not 1st on the latest 20 list!
17 sleeps and 2 work weeks to go! Putting together the "Bible", looking at list of clothes and otherstuff I took last Sept., a few restaurant choices, when to get hair cut, should I get mani/pedi or just do myself...ah all the planning....lists..and for some one who uses "periods" a lot the ">.." key/tile has mysteriouly disappeared from my lap top!

Thank you Geordy!
You could do the mani/pedi in Paris. Would that make it a French manicure? ;D

Brilliant Janet! Since I'll be in NJ for Labor Day weekend I'd have to do the M/P before that,,,and since there will be some food prep...and present opening! over the weekend my concern was the mani in particular wouldn't last thru the trip,,,,,but if it doesn't...I can get one there! ;D
