She mentioned a place in the 9th or 11th that sells the white china very cheaply. Yes, your only problem will be the dollar/euro one. Hit another all time high (or low) this week. $1.40 Yikes.<BR/>Vista is wonderful. I have not had a problem. My new Toshiba has a fabulous keyboard, large keys. You'll get used to the laptop (and love it) as well as the camera.<BR/>A good boiled wool jacket in black is perfect in the event it gets cool. Add a few scarves and turtle necks and you'll be right in Paris fashion. Black everything works in Paris. I found the ground level of La Samaritaine quite reasonable for little touches like gloves, hose, soaps, etc.<BR/>Yes, the good shoes are a must, but don't forget a good hat and a brollie!<BR/>My daughter and I always say, "We can handle anything as long as we have clean underwear." Bring plenty - skimpy little Victoria Secret ones to tuck into your shoes in your suitcase. And the new suitcase idea was perfect. It's a great gift to have a rolling bag with lots of pockets. Forget the books, except your map books; make notes on 3x5 cards, and discover the rest! <BR/>Bon voyage!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-25602078465734901812007-09-27T20:25:00.000-04:002007-09-27T20:25:00.000-04:00oh I am sooo looking forward to the pictures.
