Let me know when you do. I know some excellent, inexpensive French restaurants. The cuisine is simply divine.

BTW...It appears that my condition is beginning to show some improvement. I've been watching my carbs.
Monroe,
That's excellent news my friend . I am so happy to hear about your improvement . You've been on my mind lately...Good to hear my friend, good to hear. lay off the simple carbs and the bad fat (especially red meat) and eat lots of fruits (dark ones) and lots of veggies...nothing better imo. Keeps your heart pumping like new. Control the sugar that way...best "natural" medicine you can get.

We'd love for you and your wife to join us on vacation, but you know that if you come with us, I am going to make you exercise and go hiking with us (no easy out for you buddy). Having said that, France is the last place I would like to go on vacation ...for several years, at least. She and I (together and alone) have been to almost every corner of France, several times over. I am saturated with France right now . Although my wife would still jump at the opportunity no matter what. She LOVES Paris and London...In her mind, those are the BEST cities in the world. I guess I am more of the explorer in our family

Wife and I are considering "Switzerland/Northern Italy" trip road trip for Sept of 2011 (she wants to plan it this time). This was on the agenda in 2010 but for many reasons it didn't happen. We have people in both countries that we would like to visit as well as relax with some country-side, take in the scenery, do a little hiking, photography and eat locally.
