Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday. Bring your Italy info for me, if you have any!

twina49..Haven't seen the Rick Steves segment on the strip..but did have a tape...which I either passed on or lost!!

BTW>> I think there may be a picture of my husband in Premantes!He asked for his sandwich WITHOUT the fries added and on the side!! He almost caused a riot!

I will really be looking forward to seeing all the pictures when we get back from Paris next week..

Hope you all have a great time..

Hey panera's has a great low carb bread so you won't even have to go off your diet to enjoy the food!

flsd - I too am a USC grad (1981) now living outside of Cleveland - in enemy territory :-)

Geez..aren't there any DU graduates here????????

USC= Upper St. Clair, correct???

MWM1.......
Geez Zooey! I thought USC was University of South Carolina!!!!!!!! And I lived on Orr Rd in Upper St Clair! I think I must be getting OLD!!

Jody - did you go to USC H.S ??

I yi yi; I taught at USCHS many years ago!

Grandmere - may I have been there when you were also?? What year(s) and course did you teach?

Right out of college, 1962-1969-French and English.

This past summer the Class of 1964 invited the teachers to their class reunion; I was thrilled to be invited (and had a wonderful time) but incredulous that people I taught were in their late 50ies, not THAT much younger than those of us who taught them back then. Talk about self deception! :-)

I have very fond memories of my french teachers from USC - one at Boyce Middle School, the other at the High School.

MWM1..no USCHS..went to Sacred Heart in Eas Sliberty ! Now how's that for a bit of Pittsburghese.

Jody- did you not just help me out with a restaurant recommendation in Rome???? We continue to cross paths!

That was me! Bet you'd like to cross my path today! I'm sitting here killing time waiting for the airport limo then I'm off to Paris!!!

YOu lucky dog!! I was in Paris this same time last year. Stayed at Le Regent on the left bank. Have a wonderful, wonderful time!

MWM1, bet I know your hs French teacher; two began when I was there and retired w/in last few years. Both are excellent teachers and wonderful people.

Hey, Pgh-ers--how are we going to recognize each other on Sat.? Just kinda look around expectantly?

Well, Grandmere, I am rather short and plump with dark very curly hair.
If I can find my Fodor's pin, I will wear it, but it is kind of small.
I guess just look around expectantly.

Tomorrow Saturday 2/19/05 at 1:00 pm at Panera in the Robinson Towne Centre.

Road conditions should be good as weather forecast is 36 deg with just a few snow flurries. Hope there's a good turnout. Maybe get a good travel idea or two for a future trip.

I am of average height, darkish straightish hair (smooth bob), and I just can't call myself plump, even if others might. :-)
