So far so good - I just flew from San Diego to DC on Friday and it seems like it's still early for the real airport craziness... lets hope that holds out another couple days until I'm safe in Boston!

I've never been to Paris myself, but the tip I've gotten from friends is don't try to drive there!

Have fun!

Agreed - I've been traveling a LOT over the last few weeks and it's been a breeze. But this week and next - look out!

Paris - wow, where to start!? We mostly wandered the left bank aimlessly and stopped in cafes that looked intriguing, checked out shops that caught our eye, ate in bistros that were cute and cozy. Crazily enough did NOT do the Lourve, but did the Eifell Tower - where at the top beers are the cheapest we found in town! We mostly got around on foot and on the Metro, didn't really need to use Taxis. Didn't really participate in much of the night life, either. Hmmm - what did we do!? Oh yes, we were on our honeymoon. :-)

Paris is fantastic. I was there for winter holiday in the late 90's. I loved the Louvre, but actually enjoyed Musee d'Orsay better. And you can actually do it in a day, whereas the Louvre - while monumentally impressive - would take a week to get through.

Also, just in case you have the idea in your head to see Jim Morrison's grave... don't waste your time. I don't know what I was thinking.
