I purchased this book in preparation for my upcoming trip to Paris in 9/2008. I didn’t realize that I had already purchased a copy a few months ago when I first started thinking about going to Paris. Nonetheless, I don’t mind owning two copies–the book is full of information about Paris and there’s cool information about the history of Paris. I guess I could bring one copy to Paris with one–I’m sure it will be battered with use, so now at least I’ll have a fresh copy at home for my next visit…

I must say that this guide was exactly what I needed, but also I must confess that another thing came up since I have been traveling to Europe for some time now. I didn’t realize or wasn’t even thinking about travel insurance?? I mean we all have insurance, that covers us while we are in the US, but not for traveling abroad. I recently planned a second trip to Germany, but wasn’t sure if my insurance company policy would take care of minor details in my policy for things I am not sure I have thought about. I am not saying I might or might not be covered, but I need peace of mind when it comes to my family. I then called my HR to find out general things about traveling abroad and “What would happen if” scenario’s. I wasn’t going to read my lengthy policy, even if I did I wouldn’t understand the legal double-talk anyway not being a lawyer and all.
My HR told me everything would be ok, and I shouldn’t worry. But some thing in the back of my mind said call again and asked the same questions to see if the results would be the same from another Representative, to my surprise, it was. Ok then, not feeling a warm feeling of confidence in my HR responses. I didn’t have much time to keep doing the research, so I looked up travel insurance and started to focus my attention on getting some basic package to cover me and family while we were abroad. There are a lot to choose from, but again this became confusing. So I came across http://www.securemytravelonline.com which had an aggregate of different well known insurance companies. I choose AIG with a basic plan and the rest was history. Also I didn’t know you can insure your travel and luggage also in case of theft, flight cancellation etc. I thought I would share something from one avid traveler to the next. Overall a GREAT Guide and I have bought another copy for my friend. Paris is in my opinion the most beautiful city in the WORLD…period.
Take care.

Even if you don’t venture to the city of lights you’ll enjoy this beautiful little gem of a guide. We found it to be imperative on our recent trip to Europe and they offer a condensed “Top 10″ version as well.
Priceless!

What I missed in this book compared to other books are the pre-planned out suggested itineraries for various length stays.
