Un oltro PING per il Jacu...Jacou...errr...Mike!
Instead of blowing all of that hard-earned cash on those five star
hotels you stay at when you're slumming in Europaland every July, why not bring one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjNfncjOHNw R |

... Instead of blowing all of that hard-earned cash on those five star hotels you stay at when you're slumming in Europaland every July, why not bring one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjNfncjOHNw R I see the French connection- that thing is so small (as a shelter) that only someone of Napoleanic stature could possibly sleep in it. The only French 5* hotel I've stayed is was the Lafayette Square Sofitel... in Washington DC. Impressive! But I'd never stay at a place like that on my own dime; it was subsidized by Trek for dealers attending the DC Bicycle Summit last March (we paid $175/night instead of the $300+ they billed Trek). In France, the fanciest place I've stayed is the Concorde Montparnasse, which isn't too fancy but it's right at the train station. In Paris we (my son and I) always stay next to one of the main stations, since we're lugging bikes. Actually, that's what we do everywhere in France, which nicely helps us avoid renting a car. On the go, we generally stay at Etap or Ibis hotels. I'd consider Formulae 1 except that the bathroom is down the hall, and that's a bit of an inconvenience for this particular 55 year old guy. As a rule, even with current exchange rates, I can travel more cheaply in France than in the US. Sure, there are inexpensive places to stay in the US, but they're inconsistent... some fair, some awful. In France, the Etaps are amazingly consistent from town to town. Besides, we're not there for the hotel stay. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

The other disadvantage (if you see it that way) with Formula 1's is the sound of fornication coming thru the walls as local reps/travelling business men use the services of the local ladies of the night. -- |
