This is a very quick posting at an Internet cafe where we have about 5 minutes before I need to dash. The internet is "en panne" (out of order) at the hotel, thus no postings. All has gone quiet well! Easy flight and on time! All got their luggage. Hotel is in a quiet neighborhood.
We all managed to stay awake until almost midnight last night which is amazing. I usually don't make it that long myself, but this group was so excited that we maximized our time!
One highlight was a boat cruise of the Seine at night with amazing views of the Eiffel Tower and all its evening sparkle. We took a bus tour of Paris this morning and went in Notre Dame cathedral and did souvenir shopping.
Yesterday we walked to Invalides and saw Napoleon's tomb. I negotiated a free group entrance for us! Charles I know you are smiling. My husband knows I always negotiate amazing deals in coutries where I know the language!
I think I can speak for them all. We are having a marvelous time. The weather is amazing: sunny and cool. We are very fortunate! All is well.

Somehow, Linda, I think you could negotiate a freebie even in a language you don't speak! You've got that personality:)I'm thrilled you took them on the "Bateau Mouche". I wondered if it would be part of the trip. Can't wait for photos (hint, hint!). It looks like these lucky kids are truely going to get their money's worth.
yes I am smiling. and i get to have her ferry me around foreign climes and speak for me in whatever the native tongue is whenever I want! :-)
wow the night boat trip down Seine is supposed to be so lovely. I'm glad you all got to do that.
