Did I visit the same city as you guys?

I don't spend most of my life in the salons of Paris or Michelin-starred restaurants, so perhaps my standards are a bit lower than yours. Being of Irish ancestry helped, I suppose.

Anyhow, we (my entire extended family - gotta love them miles and points deals) spent a few days there a year or so ago, and we all thought it was the best vacation we've ever taken.
