Hello again, Hilo. Yes, my husband likes short trips too, but I've gotten him up to a month or 6 weeks several times. In Paris, because I have my "fairy godmother" landlady to rely on for emergencies, I don't mind at all staying on my own. It has so much to offer that doesn't require a companion, especially my favorite - just walking around taking in the architecture and sights. I have about a zillion pictures of doors, balconies, etc. Since my husband doesn't like walking that much, it works out fine. I mostly do the nice dinners out when he's there except occasionally going out with my landlady and her husband. We missed out on traveling so much because of work schedules, we've really tried to make up for it in retirement. We'll need to taper off some now, though, since we've about run through the chunk we set aside for heavy travel when we retired.

Regarding apartment vs hotel in Paris, IMHO you'll appreciate having a place to be able to have kitchen facilities. One of our favorte things in Paris is to leisurely have coffee and a "fresh that morning" baguette or croissants for breakfast. And especially to do it while enjoying the view the apartment has. (There are two boulangeries within a few blocks. Since the first time, my husband doesn't even complain about running out to buy the bread in the morning. Hey, he doesn't have to put on makeup or "do" his hair, right?)

Do you by any chance have an email address where I could send the contact info for the Paris apartment? I hesitate to post her info on the web. If you prefer not to post your email because of privacy concerns (which I share), perhaps you could send it to El's email which is on her profile and she could send it on to me. (I'm being mighty presumptuous to impose on El like that. Hopefully she won't kill me.)

Let's hope this message posts. I've been trying but failing repeatedly. I'm averaging about 10% that post and the rest don't these days. I'm about ready to pull a certain wiki gremlin's hair out (if he has any). My code is CRO950 (cro950). Thanks and happy gaming. - L2
