Off to France for the day

I know it's not very exciting, but it's a while since we've been - December 2001 in fact. We're off to France for the day later this month with my parents via the tunnel. It should allow us to have a nice meal in Calais and stock up on some French cheese and cheap wine and spirits! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Not the same as France in Epcot, but it is the real thing..! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Off to France for the day

Can we just say... jealous?! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
Here's hoping you enjoy your day trip. If I am lucky I may get to take a trip to the otherside of town sometime this month. LOL! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Just teasing.
Seriously though, enjoy your trip and your shopping.

Re: Off to France for the day

Yes, we're going through the Chunnel. I wouldn't travel any other way now. The last time I took the boat to France, I was very sea sick.. that's the only thing which worries me about a Disney cruise. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: Off to France for the day

Sounds exciting to me! Can I tag along?

DH's brother has been in Germany for about 10 years. He loves traveling to France! Of course, he's been to EuroDisney and I have not!

Have a blast, Cheryl!

Re: Off to France for the day

Wow, am I jealous! In which province is Calais? Many years ago, at the age of 16, I travelled to France. Loved the little town of Honfleur and all of Normandy and Brittany.(sp?) Each province has its own character. Have fun. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">I don't think there is any comparison between a ferry crossing the channel and a cruise ship in the Caribbean. They have great stabilizers that eliminate a lot (but not all) of the motion of the ocean.

I had the same problem you did the last time I took a ferry across. After that I paid the extra money for the hovercraft each time (that was pre-Chunnel). I have had no problems on cruise ships, even through somewhat stormy seas.

Hope you had a great day in Calais.
