^ One of the most impressive sites in Paris is not on your list . . . Napoléon's Tomb. You might consider it.

Emil - I mentioned Pere Lachaise above. It is not on the list but certainly should be. And Gene - Sainte-Chapelle should certainly be on there, also. It is beautiful. I remember it. Here is the edited list:

Musee d €™Orsay
Musee Rodin
Palais-Royal Gardens
Fondation Louis Vuitton (Bois de Boulogne)
Luxembourg Gardens
Bateau Mouche
Musee Picasso
The Louvre
Notre-Dame (Ile de la Cite)
Rue Saint-Honore
Marche Aux Puces de Saint-Ouen
The Eiffel Tower
The Marais
Rue des Martyrs
Basilique du Sacre-Coeur (Montmartre)
Avenue des Champs-Elysees
Deyrolle
Covered Passages
Mini Palais Restaurant
Pere Lachaise Cemetery
Sainte-Chapelle (Ile de la Cite)
Napoleon's Tomb (Les Invalides)
La Conciergerie (Ile de la Cite)
Pont Neuf (Ile de la Cite)
Au Franc Pinot (Ile Saint-Louis)
Centre Georges Pompidou
Au Lapin Agile (Montmartre)

It will be even more difficult to figure out what we can fit in! Will need to get on the cruise boat to relax.

Going to ST Petersburg FL. 3rd week of June. Dropping off the S at LHT for "improvements". While there for a week, taking the family to Disney World for a few days and then off to ST Petersburg Beach for some more touristing. Pick up the car after a week and trailer it back to Texas. Might have to do a little local driving to check out the "improvements" before loading it up!

Next week, my wife and I will be off to Miami for about 6 days for my daughter's graduation from vet school. Then in mid-August it will be a week on Grand Cayman for our 25th anniversary. After taking no vacation last year (I don't count a week at home) we are looking forward to these trips.

^ Are you going to go for some Cuban food? I've been wanting to travel there at some point. Love Cuban food. Versailles is the place. Give me a review if you go. Need to make another visit to Key West and to my fave Cuban restaurant there - El Siboney. Yum...

Wife and I plan on touring the northwestern states in late may and then again in mid-June. It will be our chance to get a "green overload".

It's a shame that we have pets, even though we love them...if it wasn't for them we would travel more frequently and for much longer.
