126. No, there is no way to follow all of the extensive good but often contradictory advice on this site, and even if you try . . .
127. A man speaking Italian in a restaurant in Florence (who may be a tourist himself - I am a tourist in NYC) might knock a votive full of melted wax all over your arm, your silk scarf doubled around your neck the way the Italian girls wear them, your charcoal cashmere cardigan, and your black microfiber trench coat that you brought in order to pack light, mix and match, and look stylish, thereby ruining it, since you can't pick wax out of a fuzzy sweater and he won't even acknowledge that he did it let alone apologize even if you try to speak in Italian because not everyone in Italy is warm and welcoming and since the weather is unseasonably cold even though you checked the forecast a week ago you'll freeze your butt off until you can find a store in Florence that actually sells a ladies size 14 but that is what you get for going to Italy if you aren't thin and Italian.
128. Please use paragraphs in long posts, or at the very least, periods.

Yes, airfares from the US to France are ridiculous in the summer. No, the rates aren't likely to go down.
www.itasoftware.com is a great starting point for airfares and be sure to use the 30 day feature to check for best rates if your travel dates are flexible.

Go straight ahead until you reach the last traffic signal, then turn left.
The last two cars don't go to Brussels.
It looks like sausage in squid's ink because it is sausage in squiid's ink.
A 20 cm diameter pizza eaten near St. Marks will cost the same as a 5 course dinner elsewhere.
Yes, the bottled water costs more than the wine. Orangina costs most of all.
High heels and cobblestoned streets don't work well together unless you are a native.
The site you came 3000 miles to see is under renovation.
