The Holiday Programme - Paris, France

[damianmcr]

I disagree there Baggy. I'd always heard the same but I much preferred Disney. The worse thing about Disney is the amount of lazy fat Yanks on their motorized buggies. Truly horrible.

I hope you enjoy Paris. I love it there. Only been twice but hopefully go back soon.

Disneyland

No thanks Damo. Had all that crap when the kids were young, Disney is just awful, Universal Studios much more entertaining.

Kennedy Space Centre is the best "theme park" for big kids.

Thanks Damo, I know I will, we honeymooned there, went to 4 rugby internationals, holidayed there several times, usually spending a few days there on the way back up France towards the ferry, but all quite a while back since we have "flown south" and concentrated on Spain where I hope to reside this time next year.

Have to smile mind you, I may be that lazy fat Paddy on a golf cart at Versailles, maybe I'll man up & do the hard yards.

Disney, what really made me hate it was that horrible "small world" yoke The one in Florida has something to commend it, the one in LA is just the pits. I abominate the French nation for allowing it into their country.

I went there in the 70s Merv when space was the coolest thing. I was a bit disconcerted by these signs mind you, they were bloody everywhere then, up on every fence about 15 yards apart. I took it seriously.

The air & space museum in Washington DC is well worth a gleek if you are ever passing on your way to Capitol Hill.

It's a good spot for wildlife. I saw alligators and a bald eagle in the KSC.

I saw chickens* and a bald man in KFC once.

Only been to Disney in Paris and Orlando.

I went on my honeymoon a few months ago to Orlando and then NYC (Im a big kid)

The KSC was fantastic. What really made it though was there was a rocket launch the same day. Paid a little extra to get closer. The sound was something else. The yanks could ruin nearly anything on you though with their whooping and cheering.

I have a mate lives in Seattle who says the Seppos have more idiots per 100 people than any country on the planet but also some of the nicest most decent and helpful. To meet them I find it handy to anything more than a mile from the centre in any national parks because dicks don't like to walk. Anywhere remotely inconvenient and then you meet quality interesting people.
