Excellent, then I'll go ahead and add the concert/wandering/dinner plans to the OP. I would suggest we all meet in one specific place. I'm betting it's going to be very busy, so maybe we should meet in the lobby of some hotel (maybe where some FT'er is staying) so that we can stick together somewhat? Any thoughts on a good meeting place?

Is there a specific landmark at the Museum d'Orsay we could meet at after the concert? I'm not familiar with the Museum (or the rest of Paris, for that matter) but it seems like lots of people were interested in attending the pre-wandering concert.

If that turns out to be the plan, please count me in!

[edit to add : IMO, I would hate to rush through dinner to make the concert, especially when among so much interesting company.]


I will complete my evening in Paris with a glass of Champagne at The Regency Bar.

I am so there --- unless, of course, you need a moment alone to savor your Champers, after an evening of FlyerTalkers.

Though, on second thought, we might need a bottle for the taxi ride to the Hilton-Orly.

I don't know, I was thinking of something more along the lines of Dom Prignon Ros Vintage 1996.

How about a 2008 Coca-Cola classic instead, chilled with no ice, or better yet, a 2008 jus d’orange?

LOL

perfect, no worries, I've got your first round.

BTW, jus dorange with sparkling water makes for a nice mimosa, with no fear of a hangover.

Thumbs up The New York-to-Paris Primer

In case you didn't catch it,

OpenSkies sponsored The New York-to-Paris Primer in a June issue of New York Magazine.

Happy Travels!
