Air travel hints and helps

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Yes..got to look to Merck someday. One thing that we did

that helped was to build in extra time at the beginning and end. Like, we spent the night in NYC before the flight the next evening. And, on the end the night before the direct flight to NYC before leaving Europe. I felt much worst at the beginning though - but couldn't sleep - next time - will use your tip about 1/2 ambien. Everyone was sound asleep - but I was the only one to see Ireland.

May have told you this -- But if you can go a couple hundred miles inland from the southern coast of France - you wouldn't be disappointed by including Annecy France. The last time we went to Europe, I googled "most beautiful place on earth." When planning, somehow I found the results from a survey done at an international conference of CEOs - and the most often place mentioned was Annecy France. Annecy is a medieval village set in the Alps and Lake Annecy has one of the cleanest lakes in the world. It is 50 miles south of Geneva.

Lake Annecy has stunned plenty of visitors. Winston Churchill reckoned the lake held "the most beautiful view on earth", and when Mark Twain visited in 1891, he flatly refused to believe that he could do justice to the scenery in writing.

We stayed at the Auberge du Pere Bise - with a patio view of the lake. I also picked it because their restaurant's chef had a Michelin star.

Man, couldn't pick from all the stunning pics but here's some of village, lake, and hotel:
