Some early photos with comments here. I uploaded these this morning and am now headed to the lounge for breakfast. Enjoy the teasers. And yes, I did take the time to comment on each pic.

Just wanted to apologize to those at dinner last night for not making it. I was so tired considering I didn't sleep at all on the flight, and slept till 4AM. At 4AM I started working on my trip report, which is now totally up to date. Of course I won't post it till I get back.;)

Look forward to seeing everyone this afternoon! Anyone for a repeat of drinks at the IC last night (or for those that haven't joined yet, you're also invited!)?

Also, can someone please remind me where we're meeting tonight?

I have some vague recollection of 7:15 outside the museum, on the right as you face it.

That's what I remember as well, but which museum?

d'Orsay
 

The same one we are supposed to be at for the tour at 10:45 this morning. Musee d'Orsay. :D

I will not be able to make it in time for the Musuem tour today. Apologies to all. If someone in the group is reading this, please pass it along. Thanks!

Michael, can't see the video right now, but it better be good.:p Meal service video? hmmm...

I can see the video. You should have asked to shoot my chicken dinner. It was marvelous! I am headed back to the lounge to meet with the rest of the Hilton Paris 4 and will pass along the dinner option to them.

Only one person turned up for the tour.
I was able to get access for the concert for 12 not having to with line.
Since there seem to be no interest in culture, I guess it is not the minibar at IC:p,I returned 9 of the tickets.
I am still going with some Australian friends who happen to be in Paris. My son Australian classmate parent happen to be in Paris. He emailed me,they would appreciate me taking them to museum,as he had told them about his mom sometimes takes friends through Museum;
They joined me for the morning tour with the other flyertaker who turned up.
They are thrilled lean about the concert and an opportunity to attend the concert.I kept the 3 passes.
Enjoyed the MiniBar at IC.:p

See you all at checkIn at Orly

thanks for the video. its hard to get alot of people together ive learned :) enjoy ur trip back

You are right chanp, I've found that unless you are staying at the same hotel, or within a block or two of each other, it is impossible to coordinate people getting together from many different directions. We are spread all over Paris, for some of us it is our first time here. It is hard to judge distances and the time you need to accomplish things.

The rest of the Hilton Paris 4 have been very considerate of my physical limitations; sometimes I feel bad for holding them back. The great thing is that they didn't once make me feel like that. I've experienced the same from FTers I've met at DOs worldwide.

When I get my chance to talk to Randy about what FT has meant to me, I will tell him that I came for the points and miles and I ended up with lots more of both. More importantly, it brought me many wonderful friends. :D

Very well said Pat, and that's what it's all about! It started the same way for me, and this weekend is just another example of how FT is much much more!^

yyzprincess, just FYI we (four of us) have spent a total of about an hour with anything related to the minibar. The rest has been spent wandering the city.

I once did a party of 9 and that was about the max i could handle :) im glad its leaving some great memories for a some. prob wont be the last time u will be there? paris is a great city!
