As for shopping, H&M is a must for cool unique clothes at a decent price. And it's on Rue Rivoli which has miles of chic shops.

As for shopping. . .do not pass up Monoprix! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif The "Target" of Paris. Great stuff at excellent prices.

Rue deCler market on Saturday is also enjoyable (in the 7th) for those looking for chocolates they have a JosBruges store there.

And for the women who can't get enough cosmetics/skin products, Caudalie is 1/2 the price in Paris as it is here in the States.

Even though I wasn't one of the chosen, I'll go ahead and post missydarlin's number as a public service:

+33 684 78 91 78

I woke up this morning with a dreadful sore throat and cold. If I don't feel better in the morning I may have to bag. But I hope not.

ROFLMAO !!!

BTW1: if you dial in France add "O" in front of it.

BTW2: there's a cool retrospective on Air France in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (same building as the Louvre)

BTW3: Monoprix rules!

just trying to find out if missy got my package before she left....

yes i did .... practically as i was walking out the door.

so again, for those unfamiliar with calling within france. my number is 06 84 78 91 78

the number alan posted is for those of you inclined to call (or text!) from elsewhere.

anyone wanting to join us for dinner tonight we'll be at Le Marathon - 14 rue st severin. right next to st severin church at 9pm. just tell Luigi or Leo that you are looking for Missy http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Yes! I bought one of my favorite shirts at the Champs Elysees Monoprix for 5 Euro. The store may be full of useless junk, but there is usually at least one thing that you need and you'll get a great price.

Folks, alanw will not be attending. And he is NOT happy about it at all.

****ing non-refundable fare on KL as well. ****.

Awwwwwww.... I will miss meeting AlanW yet again! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif I hope you feel better.

We are at DFW now... enjoying the cheap wanna-be bubbles at the A AC bar. Looking forward to getting to ORD and the Flagship Lounge for real champagne.

I'm here in Paris. See you all tonite at 830pm

I hate these French keyboards....

Looking forward to meeting everyone tonight.

UA has been very good to me. SFO-CDG was full Friday, and I got an op up to F. Is this a "double upgrade", as I upgraded to C with SWU? My first trip in international F - I could get used to this. (Double status miles too!) I'm at the Cyberc@fe de Paris, 15 rue des Halles, getting in from the rain. They have "normal" keyboards.

I'm sorry I couldn't come tonight due to personal matters, that's too bad :-(
I hope another time

Marc
