speaking of Paris, how expensive was it?
My mother went last year and she said its halluva expensive (food specially)

It wasn't the cheapest city I've been in but London was more expensive. In Paris we ate in cafes and the meals would average about 50 euros. We usually ordered drinks (a soda for hubby and a beer for me), a main dish, and at least one dessert. I loved that the beer was usually the same price as a soda.

Our second day was hubby's birthday. The Eiffel Tower was the main part of our agenda today. We were really impressed with the Tower and yep we went up to the very top!

There was a boulangerie near our hotel, so we had a chocolate pave (basically a chocolate croissant with a creamy filling) for breakfast.

We found a monument to Ben Franklin in the area near the Tower

Our lunch on the Rue Cler (a street that Rick Steve's recommends in his guides as having good food and a variety of shopping)
Started with some yummy bread

Hubby was excited to have Coke Zero everywhere we went in France, since that rarely happens here in the states.

Then we went across the street to the Pastisserie for dessert and got some eclairs

Hi guys. We got in at about 2 pm yesterday. I had been up for almost 24 hours as I did not sleep at all on either flight, so when I got home, I took care of some things and then went to bed, at which point I had been up for 24 hours. I've only been up for a few hours since (Between 6-8:30 pm and 11:30 pm-1 am). Rather exhausted. I'll post pic and/or a trip report soon!:)

I have a silly question. I'm not sure if we should book a hotel for the ride north or just wing it. After checking out of the condo the plan is to stop at DTD and maybe the outlets, we have no clue how much if any time will be spent shopping. Do you think we should wing it? Book before going down? Or wait until a few days before we leave and get an idea of what we'll do? The first option will be the cheapest, but we'll either feel rushed or wind up at a hotel too far south. THNX
In today's world of the internet, I would wait until you are about ready to leave (maybe a day or two before) and then decide what you want to do. Just stay off the highways if the driver gets tired, (no matter how great a driver that they think they might be), your life could depend on it. OK, Daddy preaching is over now, carry on do whatever you feel is right for you.

Try to get some rest. I'm still trying to deal with the time changes too.

While Epcot never had a theme song, I always thought the tune heard for Illuminations from 8:36 - 9:29 served as the park's unofficial theme song. Especially since this was heard in the opening movie for Epcot's 30th Anniversary at D23 years ago. Am I the only person who thought this was Epcot's theme song?
