Topping again. Anyone know mia7681?

The OP hasn't posted since Aug 12 on this thread. Before that is was way back in March. We may be beating a dead horse here . . . . .

The OP posted an update in a new thread!

Thanks ellenem! It was fun reading how well things went.

ellenem - more thanks for posting! I never would've seen that if you hadn't linked to it!

You're welcome--I noticed it by accident myself so thought others would be interested.

Stay home and save your money. The economy is dying.

newmanparker~ You might want to actually read threads before replying. These people have already gone and returned.

That's the least of newmanparker's problems -- being unable to read other posts. On another thread he clearly said they have visited Paris on a previous trip, yet in the very same thread claimed they had never been out of the country before, except for Canada. Talk about having a "problem". How many people forget they have been to Paris -- or even to Europe at all?

Oops, I hadn't seen newmanparkers "WOW Paris hotels" thread before I posted above.

Mia, now that your parents are back, please give an accounting of what they did and if they were happy with it. Everyone's really curious, because it sure was hot in Italy in August. And, now that they are back, they can take it easy and look at italiannotebook.com every day and remember their good times in Italy.

Yolanda, She DID post a trip report. Just click on her author name to find the thread.
