France & Italy 2008

Make sure you make time to go to the musee d'orsay, I liked it better than the louvre.

Ditto on D'orsay.You'll love Amboise.
Try to get to Rue Mouffetard,arrondissment 5. It is a really neat street market of food and clothing. Everyday but Monday. One of my favorite things in Paris. Also Luxemberg Garden on the weekend. Have fun.

P.s. Thanks for the tip on Cinque Terre. We're going in June.

You guys have got me real excited about this trip! Can't wait!

Thank you for your boat trip suggestion. We contacted them and arranged for a day trip. They were very helpful and sound fun. You've got me excited to go as well. In addition to my Paris suggestions when you're in Nice try to get to the flower market in the morning it's amazing. Also in July Monte Carlo has the International fireworks exhibition going on. Quite a show from the hills overlooking the harbor. Yachts with cigarette boats for dinghys, and helicoptor landing pads on them. The parking lot in front of the casino is great. If you have a lowly Mercedes you have to park a block away. Go into the casino and have a drink at the bar to the right as you walk in the view is one of the best ever.

January 2008 - bought the tickets to see Santana in Paris! I've never seen him perform, and to see him in Paris will only make it more memorable. Also, Sheryl Crow is opening for him, so all in all it will be a fantastic night!

March 2008 - Bought the rail passes! How exciting!

I went, I saw, I Loved It!

Paris is amazing! We went everywhere, saw everything in 1 week. If anyone needs suggestions or has questions send me a note.
