Our first trip to Europe together took us to Paris where we spent ten days. I used to live in London and went to Paris frequently for work, and my sister and I had visited it and fell in love (with it, not each other). Europe is full of cities with amazing architecture, but I think Paris is the only place where you can walk for miles and see nothing but beauty all around. So that's what we did, despite Somchai's occassional complaining. I was determined to show him every church, palace, museum and neighbourhood in the city, and this is where my nasty holiday habit of making detailed schedules came from. I started to do these schedules because meals became very important parts of our trip, and if we'd go to famous places for lunch you'd need to book well in advance, which means you have to program your day around that booking. I meant the schedules more as a guide for when to book things, but I admit they look pretty intimidating in their detail.

ok, a real comment....i think you should mention/highlight the restaurants that you ate at (like you are doing with the hotels) and give a thumbs up or down.
i haven't read everything you've posted, so maybe you're doing that, but....just in case.
I'm glad you asked stolidog (I'm pretending you're some random visitor to the site rather than my brother). I've got lots of restaurant details for the later trips once I have my travel diary going, but for these first trips memory is a bit hazy. But we'll definitely have lots of restaurant stuff.
brother?
my cover's been blown.
