  November-December 2007


Here it is - November already, and then December and the holidays! This will actually be the last issue for 2007, and we'll back in January 2008. In between now and then you may hear from us seeking your input for improvements to this newsletter. We hope to make it better and more relevant to your busy lives!

In the meantime, we've got a few things to tell you about for the rest of this year and yes, even some deals! Despite the strong Euro, deals can be found. But, there are still many reasons to visit Paris and France, and the holidays are definitely a very good reason! So, while it seems a little early to say this yet, we sincerely wish you a very Happy Holiday season. Peace to you and yours...
Loren Siekman - General Manager
