I didn't think of that.
Thankfully, someone at work brought a pair of glasses he had left from 1999.

Idle hands truly are the devil's plaything.

At the barracks, having a beer. After all, it's Friday (but I have to work tomorrow and Sunday ...)

2 hours until vacation ... heading out to Paris (France, not Texas)

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Cool! Is it common to have vacation at this time of year in the US?

Yes, in March into early April, depending on where you live, it is Spring Break for schools. I am taking my daughter as an early graduation present. She has the week off of school and it was much less expensive to go to Paris now versus the summer (plus I assume less crowded).

My son had his break last week, we went to Vegas for part of it.

Right'o. In Norway, there's one week school break in mid February, and then another week in the week leading up to Easter. I guess spring break is kind of the same.

What are you going to see while in Paris?

I have been there before, my daughter has not .. I am mostly leaving it up to her. The usual stuff (Lourve, Eifel Tower, Notre Dame, Versailles, Disney (we are big Disney fans.. I want to go to all 6 .. this will make 3.), maybe Fountainbleu, I want to hit some record stores, try to find some local bands we might like, and general walking around to take in the sights. We will have 7 full days and small parts of 2 others (coming and going).

Sounds great! Have a nice trip.

 

[bearfan]

I am sure we will, my daughter has taken 4 years of French in school. We will see how good her teacher is and how much attention she has been paying

 

[Saapanael]

My French teacher is this guy

Have fun Bearfan. I have been several times in Paris, but still not in the Eiffel Tower (never wanted to wait long in the queue). I always like walking in Montmartre, behind the Sacre Coeur.

I am 1 for 1 getting on the Eifel Tower .. I also went up the Las Vegas version of the Eifel tower last week

I went to Sacre Coeur last time there and walked around, nice area.

Thanks .. I am sure it will be a fun trip, been looking forward to it for some time. The last few hours waiting to leave are moving very slowly.

A facebook link, a night of nothing to do and suddenly I find myself listening to opera.
