Yea Joanna. You caught me trying to be sneeky.
A while back ago I had a note from Ngaire explaining that it is possible to,(for a price), work out where the cruise line picks us up at the airport even when not using their air package.
Just thought I would mention that.

I am going to wait few months and see if I can get better flight over. But once I figure it out would love to coordinate plans to get from airport to hotel with others arriving about the same time -

Jim, I found my posting.....It's Crowne Plaza and this is the link Crowne Plaza I also called Amadeus lady and found out the hotel we'll be at in Paris. It is a Holiday Inn (in the process of becoming Crowne Plaza by the time we arrive) This is the link for the hotel Holiday Inn Paris Republique We've only been to Paris once but from what we remember, this is a good location and it's SMACK at the Republique metro stop which is wonderful and lets us get around easily.

Joanna,
IMO for those of us living in North Florida, it is great to go through Atlanta to Europe. Delta does have many non stops from Atlanta and it saves time and those dreaded long layovers. Perseverance pays. :app:
Your trip sounds wonderful.

Hi Sue: Oh I so agree! I hate JFK etc and you are right Atlanta, for us, painless. As usual we are at the mercy of FF availability. I was able to change this, without a fee, as Delta had changed my arrival time into Detroit. We need to get together we're in the same 'hood! Hi to Bud and Jennifer

Is everyone doing the three day pre-cruise in Paris? We are going to join everyone for the cruise but miss Paris.
Anyone interested in a post-cruise in Brussels?

We have 2 days pre in Paris - I made so many mistakes booking our biz FF pts for this trip, Marc, (was in Rochester doing it and mind was not clear) and have spent plenty $$$$ correcting them - Delta cut me no slack - so the idea of another change at this point is dim -

So, now all we need are the same old heavy sweaters and wool slacks, and no lightweight silky dressy stuff? Fine with me. I just don't get the "weight" thing for dress codes. I think I am going to treat this like an Antarctica cruise, except I have to pack my own parka!

Not worth it to stress about clothes. Just tell me what to wear and I will bring it. Looks like a sweater and slacks cruise to me! May bring along some casual silk blouses just to jazz it up a bit. No crocs for me, though!

Jan B noticed that we will be gone the day
we have to do final payment for this cruise
so she called Tuesday and gave them the information
to go ahead and do it when the time comes. :D

Booked our Hotel rooms
in Billings Montana for 12/01/09
and 12/15/09 yesterday. :D :D
Don't need to but don't want to take
a chance so decided to get there the night before
our 11:40 am flight the next day.
Return our flight arrives 9:30 pm
and don't want to drive the 145 miles
that late at night and all the deer on the road.

I'll be going too! I am not sure whether to do the land portion in Paris, although I'm booking it for the time being to be safe. However, I could be persuaded to make the land portion official if anyone else would be interested in going to Guy Savoy for dinner one of those nights.
