Paris

I went to Paris.  Not the most frugal thing to do, but time with family is priceless.
Here is how I saved money.
I used a travel agent, yep, didn't cost me a dime to do that.  She had access to deals I may not have been able to find on my own.
Flew XL France, which is like SouthWest for France.  It was just fine, not fancy.  About $400.00 round trip.
Stayed in a mostly residential area for Paris, but still a nice smaller hotel, had view of Eiffel tower.
I bought the Paris Pass, used metro to get around Paris and fast passed us into some attractions.  Metro the way to go.  I actually got a better deal on the Paris Pass than my agent.  It is worth it to do your own research as well.
I did not go crazy with souvenirs, my pictures are perfect for me, and a t-shirt.
Bought some groceries for our kitchenette, so we didn't have to eat out all the time.
Well, that is basically it.  I loved Paris.  Experience of a lifetime with my Mom, sister and Aunt.
