Fantastic Paris Hotel - Hotel Mercurie across street from Le Gare Du Nord

Hotel Ibis is a wonderful find.  We arrived at Le Gare Du Nord from London and literally walked right across the street to our hotel, Hotel Mercurie.  Their rate was amazing, including breakfast and room for two, $85 US.  The breakfast was the best free breakfast offering we have seen in our travels in Europe.  You won't walk away hungry.  Amazing breads, yogurts, the whole ball of breakfast items.  INCLUDED in room rate too.  We have seen less appealing breakfast offerings, even at our London stay, for 20 pounds and it didn't meet the offerings here.  Check out the Ibis.  Right across the street.  Check out the Angel Bear too in front of the train station.  It was placed there during the environmental summit last fall to remind us that because of global warming the polar bears are disappearing.

The Polar bear in all his glory, a stuffed bear but such a life like one.

SPACE A flight's for Military - Let the adventure begin!

Tomorrow we will be trying our hand at taking a MAC flight, (Military) to Mildenhall, UK.  They have come a long way since the 90's, the last time we used this free service only for military.  It's on space available and they only project 72 hours in advance.  We will let you know about our adventure and how we managed.  Also how we plan on getting back to the states.  Stay Tuned.
