True that, though it bears mentioning that we were there five years ago. Be cautious anyway.

I read on FB about Jesse's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie night.

That movie, and the obvious link the the DL castle is the reason we're going by Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. I'm planning to dance through the courtyard singing "Choochy-face"

BTW: thank you for all your Parisian & Stuttgartian suggestions - a lot of them have been adopted into the Official™ LashPlans.

As far as London goes, we're going to splash out on a 3-day London Pass with transport - for £83.20 a head it's the best alternative, gives us free entry for lots of things to see and.. (this is what sold it) gives you priority entry at:

The Tower Of London
Hampton Court Palace
Windsor Castle (I hope Her Maj is in... I'd love a chat !)
London Bridge Experience
London Zoo
Kensington Palace & The Orangery

It's worth it to zip past the crowds at those places - especially as we've only got 3 days there.

AND we're booking dinner and show at the Moulin Rouge. It's real pricey (the cheapest meal of all of them; the French Can-Can menu is €150.00 per head

), so it's going to be our unofficial 12th Anniversary Dinner - like we did for out third anniversary at Victoria & Albert's.

It's starting to get real exciting now !!

I'd recommend high tea at Fortnum & Mason in London. As well as a stroll through Hyde Park.

Good idea ! I'm thiinking High Tea before the leisurely 3/4 mile stroll to Hyde Park. OOOoooo They have a DIABETIC menu !!

We took a London Transport tour to Hampton Court Palace. So massive was our love for the place that we went back again the very next day. True story.

Hey, if you see Liz, would you puh-leeze tell her that a softer handbag would be less aging?

This is the Hotel Liz & I stayed in Monte-Carlo it is nice place. The thing that we liked to do was to take the tourist street trains in each city we visited some of them you can get off and back on.

Italy's Booked and it looks real pretty ! It's on an island called Ischia.

That finalises all the arrangements. It's all signed, sealed and delivered !!

Fantastic, Lash! I'm living vicariously through you!

I'm hating you

Yep, I'm a member of the Hate You Club. Card-carrying.

Sigh, if I didn't love you so much, it would be much easier to carry out my duties in the Hate You Club. Sheesh.
