we did that in September for the Honeymoon... depending on how long you're gonna be there, give the louvre 2 days... and hit the Impressionist Museum that is down the street... far less crowded and for me (not a big art guy) the pieces were more recognizable... Also, get the museum pass... it's money in the bank for sure... and you usually get your own line to get in...

I'm going to say the Dominican Republic and you will be visiting the Cuevas Hermanos cigar factory, and the Brugal Rum Factory.
And if this isn't correct... why not? Sounds like a helluva place

Well I still think I should win for coming up with what WOULD BE the perfect place for you to go. This is actually a trip I hope to make in the next year or two. We should try to get a CCOM group trip to a place like the DR. I know there has been talk of it already but last I heard it was kind of on hold.

With enough time for planning and to allow for anyone who wanted to join in and save some $$$ for it, I think it would be a BLAST!

Maybe after I come back from holidays this year I will start to work on something to that end. Have a good time wherever you are going Russ.

I say you were inspired by Kuzi and want to go to Nicaragua, the two must would be AJ Fernandez factory and the Oliva factory.

robbyras

ha... keep in mind that my wife is going to be there too... she doesn't smoke...

ok, so a clue would be that this is NOT a Spanish speaking country...
