Nan I will look out for you! Dan why are you going to Barcelona to visit Mcdonalds and Planet Hollywood- don't you have them where you live? You will find me in the local Tapas bar!

Sarah the 2nd time I visited Paris 2 years ago I have been eating european meals for days and I went to an american restaurant Hard Rock Cafe and was so great(Montmatre Boulevard)I loved. I will return after Barcelona and after touring for 2 weeks France I will be back in Paris to this wonderful place before I got in the plane back to the States.(AAA recomend the Continental Hotel. I saw today in a book in their offices, so it must to be good- Barcelona/Madrid Hotels)

I will be going on the 9th of August. Hope you guys have a great trip in Spain. Hotel La Rambla looked good on the internet, problem is they don't have A/C, only tropical fan. Hope it will suffice. <BR>

How about noise? We are "a bit older" and need sleep to enjoy our travels. Many thanks.

Choose a room at the back of the hotel-the view is not as good but the rooms are far quieter(and cheaper)
