Yes, we were off to an incredible start...and Kathy, the George V was everything I had anticipated...and I definitely had high expectations!!

Funny aside.... I travel with all carry on (more details about that later),and I had a very large 'purse' that was a cheap thing I had hoped to replace in Shanghai...anyway, just before departure in Paris, the thing ripped :eek: . There I was in the lobby of the George V asking the concierge for duck tape. (OK, now I know why everyone sings the praises of duck tape!)Anyway, the conceirge didn't have a clue about duck tape (probably the only blip :rolleyes: in the service at that incredible hotel!) but stood there in the lobby trying desperately to reconstruct this stupid purse with scotch tape!! The only comment I could make to him as he tried so hard to accommodate me was that regrettably it was Christmas day and LV was closed! ;) Really wanted a picture of that scene!!
