I wonder how the shirt is feeling about this. I mean, Larry has been dating his shirt for some time, just to be left home for the trip of a lifetime. I think the shirt is going to need some therapy.

He was just standing there having a glass of wine so I stopped, said "great show Roger" and shook his hand. Jimmy and Roger are the only ones who haven't signed the shirt.

Had I made the trip to Paris, I wouldn't have forgotten my shirt...

But I sure as heck would've lost my shirt...

Now that I think of it, the last time I remember bringing the shirt on a road trip was last July to Erie. Nadirah signed it for me and I don't think it's left Long Island since then. I should check when I get home tonight and make sure I can still find it.

Hey Larry how was your hotel? Would you recommend it? Looking for a hotel for Paris in September and trying to get somewhere picked out.

OMG, Larry broke up with his shirt???

Someone, quick, call CNN!!!



Great recap Larry! Congrats!

Your first trip to Paris---lucky you!
My first trip to Paris was back about 1971 and I've been back many times, even lived in the suburbs a couple of seasons. I feel so happy for you, and the next time we meet, I'll be sure to get Your autograph!
(and shake the hand of the man that shook the hand of The Man!)

Sorry you didn't have your shirt

Great recap, thanks for sharing!

I don't do lines well, especially when they're that long, so I didn't ride the elevator to the top. I spent some time in the park near the Eiffel Tower, then headed back. Again playing the tourist, it took about another 2 hours to get back to the hotel.

After all, Larry....you were in Paris......in June......at the Eiffel Tower! Great trip report! I wanna hear about the food, though....what about the food?!?!

.....and that had to hurt about the shirt. Just gives you a reason for "next time", right?

I think Larry made up the story about leaving the shirt behind.....

I think maybe the shirt got jealous of his HOG hotness with the babes, and ditched HIM.....

I shook Roger's hand, not Jimmy's. I only handed Jimmy my ticket so he could sign it for me.

Details, details.... his DNA touched your DNA.... (I was going to say, "mated with your DNA," but that just sounded WRONG.... )

I really liked the hotel, the Golden Tulip Opera De Noailles. It's only a few blocks from the Paris Opera, about a 10 minute walk from the Louvre, close to Place Vendome. I thought it was walking distance to Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower and the Arc De Triomphe too, although some might not agree about that. There was also a great free breakfast - mini pastries, toast, yogurt, fruit salad, applesauce, muffins, a great apple/cheese pie, a meat and cheese platter, cereal, rolls, baguettes, apples, cherries, grapefruit juice, orange juice and your choice of tea, coffee, cafe chocolate, espresso or cappucino. All the employees I came in contact with were bi-lingual, which was a big help for me since I'm uni-lingual. Here's the hotel's website - http://www.goldentulip.com/PropertyInfo ... anguage=EN

You might have better luck booking through British Airways - http://www.baholidays.com/home.jsp When I tried through the hotel's website it was 230 Euros/night. With the exchange rate, that's close to $300. Booking through BA Holidays brought it down to about $220/night so I saved a pretty good chunk of cash. But BA Holidays charges the full amount to your credit card the day you make the reservation.

Larry, was Charleston there?

I don't go out to eat in fancy restaurants here in NYC, I didn't see any reason to change just because I was on vacation. There were a ton of small cafes, bistros, brasseries and whatever else the French can think of to call them near the hotel, so when I was looking for a place to eat those were the kind of places I chose.

No, neither was the other security guy, Haley.

Pictures from the show - some of them didn't come out very good because there was no flash photography allowed. They're also not in the order I took them, I don't know how they got mixed up but I'm too lazy to rearrange them.

Wow.....

I'm in the process of putting the rest of the pictures in an album to post but it'll take awhile. I took over 300 and I want to edit out the crappy ones first, then try to title everything that I can remember.
