London -- The Cotswolds -- Paris
May 15-29, 2005
Transportation:
We took the Eurostar from London to Paris. Nothing unique or special about the trip; it was just like a flight without the lift-off. It took a great deal of time to locate the ATM at the Paris train station. After walking around a while, we decided it would be best for Shirley to stand in the taxi line while I conducted the search. I finally found an ATM not far from the information desk.
We bought Paris Viste passes for two days. I liked having the option of getting on and off the Metro and buses at whim.
I had a One Suite on United again from Paris to Dulles. We had a three-hour layover and we were glad to have access to the lounge. It was a three-class 767 between Dulles and Los Angeles -- first class was very comfortable and almost as nice as the One Suite. On our last morning we had breakfast in United's first class lounge at CDG. Not much of a lounge really; it was more like a cubby hole. Disappointing.
