re: #119 wheat-dogg
I discovered a couple of weeks ago that Paris is the #1 destination in Europe for Chinese tourists, so airfares from Beijing are surprisingly cheap. I haz planz.
We are both very excited. A day in London (assuming the flight is on time, we have 8 hours to tour London on the hop-on-hop-off without hopping off), then our flight to Paris. Several days in Paris, TGV to Lyon, three days there. A river cruise to Avignon then 4 days there before returning on the TGV to Paris for two days before we come home.
It really is going to be the vacation of a lifetime since we’re both getting older and will likely not be able to do another like it. Future vacas will likely be within North America.
