She has never been to the West Coast and is falling into the classic trap of wanting to go to too many places. Las Vegas came up, and in nixing that idea, I said, rather loudly, why the hell would I spend two days travelling to a place where I could see a fake Eiffel tower when we have seen the real thing many times... The furthest I intend to venture from here is Yosemite and Big Sur. Cheers, Nathan On 27 Aug 2012, at 04:25, Geoff Hopkinson wrote: > On our way home from Barcelona we had a few short hours in Paris.
