So much for trying to talk the wife into vacationing in France next year.

  1. Go to Rome instead and see the Vatican before it’s closed to infidels.

  2. You just bought a home !!! and now you’re talking about a Eurpoean vacation. WOW. Must be good to be the King.

  3. This will come as a shocker, but apparently you’re not alone.

  4. The final irony will be when Vietnam advises its citizens not to travel to France because of the dangerous civil war there.

  5. I’m sure that all of the stories about the riots in France are based on faulty intelligence, fabricated, no doubt, by the Bush Administration (and probably directed by Vice President Cheney and the neocon JEWISH cabal), to make European socialism and Venezuelan soclailst hero Hugo Chavez look bad, and prop up President Bush’s sinking ratings in the polls.

  6. You mean that they still haven’t surrendered?

  7. Tillman,

    It’s a pretty confusing situation for the French, and they’re not sure who to surrender to. Once they get that sorted out, I’m sure they’ll move lightning fast.

    I was wondering today if the French will cave and grant the Muslims territory. If so, do they know they’d also, um, have to put a wall around it?

    Just sayin’!

  8. Next year will be an excellent time to go. Prices will be low, the dollar high, and the French will be newly chastened (expect better service in restaurants).

    Paris remains the best city in the world to visit.

  9. Yeah, after I published the post I was thinking about that. But I don’t know that the wife will buy it. There are so many places to go, and this is an easy argument against this one.

    You’ve got that right. Personally, I wouldn’t spend a dime in France. Do yourself and your family a favor. Go on a cruise to Alaska.

  11. The french are at a severe tactical disadvantage as their white flag factory has been torched.

  12. Paris will be completely pacified by then; France undergoes fairly frequent spasms of violence, but they rarely intrude on tourism areas, and they never last. I understand your wife’s concerns–especially if kids come along–but your family will run into the same potential problems pretty much wherever in Europe you go.

    Maybe you should discuss it once things calm down.

  13. Why not head for Italy?
    Its much easier traveling around there.
