We were up very early – around 4:30 or so – and caught the first morning shuttle back to the airport. From there, it was the usual long process of checking in to an international flight. The flight itself was nice. Each seat was equipped with movie and game screens, and I read a book …
Today was our last day in Paris. Our train to London did not leave until late afternoon, so we spent the morning walking around the Montmarte neighborhood some more. We first walked to the Gare du Norde and had lunch at the McDonalds there. Then we crossed back and found the Moulin Rouge in the …
After breakfast, we took the Metro to the bank of the Seine for the tour of Paris’s sewers – something I’ve always wanted to do. It turned out to be less of a “tour” and more like a museum located in the sewers themselves. The smell was pretty bad, but the museum was interesting. There …
We returned to Paris Disney today, this time without Judy. Unlike the first time, the sky was blue and sunny and the weather was warm. The crowds were a little bigger, but still not too bad.

Paris Disney does not open until 10, but we had to take a train to get there so we were up by 8. A short trip by Metro and a longer trip by RER got us to the park right at 10. It was overcast and chilly, but did not actuallly rain on us during …
We had originally planned to go to Paris Disney today, but the weather threatened rain, so we postponed it for a day. Instead, we headed to Place St. Michel for a free walking tour of the city. We ate croissants while we waited, and then were led on the tour by a young French woman …
