Comments, comments and more comments!

We love comments on our blog site. In fact, it's the first thing we check when we have internet access. We've turned many heads in internet cafe's all over Europe because of our excitement about your comments. We communicate on a regular basis with our parents via email but always love when they pipe in on our blog. Aunty Nancy, Julie's aunt is also a regular on our site and we enjoy hearing from her. Melissa's cousin Raeanna from West Virginia comments even while on bed rest during pregnancy. Congratulations on the birth of Emma Grace! We love to hear from family so please post. Especially with Christmas approaching. And our friends back home. Annie, who now wants to return to Vaughan Village after remembering her time there through our tales. Joanie, who happened to notice how handsome the Spanish men are, book your ticket over! Our ex-coworkers at First Tech, Karmen, Shannon and Donna. We love hearing from you! Shannon, our mother hen, see below for an explanation about our flight fiasco! Tom and Dawn, who are in the throws of moving. We love hearing from you guys. And all of our new friends we meet on our journey. Bill and Pat, thanks for the info on Vietnam and have fun in Mexico. Shiv, all you campers out there, go visit Shiv at her campground in Ireland. Angela and Jacque, this campground is for you. Jorge and Maria Jose, Spanish friends. Maria Jose was our bungalow roomate. Ryan and Ron, B&B owners in Budapest, our first stop. Have fun in South Africa! We know there are many other people who have commented and we appreciate you keeping in touch with us! Now, Shannon and our mothers were concerned about our flight fiasco. Let's just say it was a series of mishaps. Flight at 5:45 AM, hotel that was supposed to be 2.5 miles from airport(not so), new lowcost airline that didn't have terminal number on tickets, and terminals there were very spread out. Were told wrong terminal when we asked, taxi didn't want to take us to correct terminal, bus runs infrequent and the time was 5 by then, finally what charm we had at that point resulted in one taxi driver taking us to correct terminal, but tooooo late. Packed airport, longer lines for security than we've ever seen in our lives. Bye bye airplane. After two hours and even asking to rent a car to drive to Paris, they said "no," we bought two of the 5 tickets left on the only airline that had seats remaining. It was a bummer but we have decided to not think about it and move on. Our first mishap and it was a biggy. All is well though and we have loved Paris. Keep the comments coming, It truly makes our day.

Bonjour MAJ,
Just thinking of you both. Have so enjoyed keeping up with your adventures. There's nothing quite like Paris. It looks so festive. Please enjoy a nice bottle of red wine for me along w/ some mousse au chocolat. I will viacariously indulge while dancing around the "little people" nativity scene with Erin. Happy Holidays!
Love,
km
