Paradise sans cheeseburgers

Sep 04, 2009 03:20

Quick Update:
We're finally enjoying our MUCH NEEDED vacation.  Our flights were blissfully uneventful and relatively on time.  Our two days of R&R in Monte Carlo have done us well.  Today we board our cruise ship and float around the Mediterranean for a week.

Takaway on Monte Carlo:
Monte Carlo is absolutely lovely.  The sun, the water... it's a little slice of paradise.  However paradise comes with a price.  The cheeseburger is 19.5 Euros, and a coke adds 4 additional Euros.  It was more expensive than the seafood lunch with appetizer and a glass of wine. 
As Jimmie Buffet sang "warm summer breezes, the French wine and cheeses... put his ambition at bay.  Because he liked the quiet and clean country living, and twenty more years slipped away."

Bon Voyage!
