Dear Myra,

So fun to "see" you here on Fodor's again.

Loved your blog!

Hope all is well with the children and husband and you!

Hi Gruezi! Nice to "see" you, too. I don't come to Fodor's often since I'm not planning a trip. But I do check into Fodor's Friends on FB every so often...

Husband and children are doing well. Kids are growing like voracious weeds, and still talk about Paris.

I'm pleased you like my blog - it's my version of a scrap book.

I wish you well.
Myra

OMG! This is such perfect timing. I recently posted for help with restaurants, parks, kids activities for a family trip to London and Paris end of May with grandsons age 18 months, 3.5 and 6, my daughter, son-in-law and their babysitter. You have inspired me and struck fear into my heart in equal measure. Many good posters offered much appreciated and excellent recommendations, but your amazing Paris reality experience is priceless. Thanks for a fabulous trip report! BTW, I have read your other reports and was delighted to see this one pop up. Goes to show, you just can't keep a determined, adventurous serial traveler down!

Thanks so much for finishing the tale and sharing your adventures with us. Loved your stories!

I already mentioned the apartment we stayed in a long time ago, but I'm going to post pictures I took, along with a recap of how fantastic it was: agency, location, and amenities -- hopefully by next week.

irishface - thank you! I was worried I'd never finish it, and I think I procrastinated the last few posts because I didn't <i>want </i>it to end.

travelchat - "You have inspired me and struck fear into my heart in equal measure." That made me laugh.

Sorry about the fear part, but I do like to be honest. And I don't like those TRs that gloss over the rough parts, because those are as important as the sweet moments. I think you'll be fine in Paris - you have more adults than kids, and a babysitter! I hope you have wonderful time - Paris is an ideal city to visit with children.

Thank you for your reply and assurance that Paris is a good city for children. We will go forth with courage and enjoy the ups, prevailing over any downs with fortitude. I know there will be a treasure trove of priceless memories, once the tricky part of making them is done. . London and Paris, look out, 'cause here we come!

Thanks for coming back and finishing. The 'twinkling' was much enjoyed by my family also.

makes me want to plan another trip....
