I'd venture to say five days in Paris is plenty and, if she's already been there a few times, I can totally see how your wife wouldn't want to do five days.
Paris is beautiful architecturally but it can be one hell of a big city tourist trap and once you've seen the Eifel Tower or Arc, you've seen it. We just did three days and could have done four, but that would have been about all we needed. To each his own, though. We didn't do it on our last trip, but I'd love to do Normandy for a day if we ever went back. We did do a bike tour of Versailles and actually really liked it.
With all due respect, you sound like an idiot
I guess I missed that. There is so much to Paris than the two most popular tourist sites. Seriously. I mean, I hear that garbage about Rome. I've been there over a dozen times and there's still stuff I haven't seen (in part because I try to avoid the tourists). Now, granted, I might stop there for a few days than hop an overnighter to the Alps to avoid the crowds and the heat but that's me.

Data for hurricane forecasting shuts down as of today. Pucker up
Welp, I wonder how the states impacted by this tend to vote at the polls? TX, LA, MS, AL, FL, the Carolinas... they probably won't mind.

The last time we went to Paris, we made it a point to take a day trip somewhere. Since most people were going to Versailles, we went to Chartres and loved it. Very peaceful - beautiful city.

Man, I'm going to start unloading my cards. I have so many from my younger years. Anything good in them? Not sure... a bunch of 80s - 90s rookie cards but I'll probably starting eBaying a a bunch of .99 listings.

The Houston Sabercats are playing for their first national title attempt Saturday at 1PM on ESPN2 - check em out!
Sorry... no rugby options for me. If there was a team here, it would be the Austin Googlymogglies or whatever they were called

Found a really good rate at the Crown Plaza - https://www.ihg.com/crowneplaza/hotels/us/en/asheville/avlss/hoteldetail
About 2 - 2.5 miles from downtown Asheville so easy enough. We'll be spending much of our time more in the hills and in other areas but this looks to be a good base.

Just here to point out at the Astros are kicking ass and to say, y'all chill.

Thanks?
We'll probably go visit Hendersonville, too, which has personal meaning to me. Not sure how damaged that area might still be.

Bump
Taking my son to visit Western Carolina University and plan on staying in Asheville for two nights. Does it matter where you stay in town if you have a car? Also, any good idea on some off-the-beaten path hikes? Although he may want to visit the NP so I imagine we would go in through Cherokee.

Tried this Friday at a wine tasting event. Easy drinking Albarino. I liked it.

Hot Summer Nights lineup just dropped...
I want to go see Pussy Gilette again. Plan on seeing Gus Baldwin & the Sketch, Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band, Queen Serene/Prehuman (99% sure they'll be on the same bill) and... finally... its time to see one of the best-named bands in Austin... Subpar Snatch (well, tied with Chancla Fight Club)

saw him a few times at antone's back in the early 2000's after discovering his cover of "champagne & reefer" via napster. he really fell off the map for a while.
This provides some good perspective - https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ian-moore-jamming-stones-writing-130000188.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALLNU_xmDiaVhQyvELxnrb0G5lG8LvnQ1FlxAPUddqnZbRZdJ8JdoR5ANvPI-0CHP24dcr5Nn1CHnAj281fNxq6XvtTbXhgA9dJURAZCENJ81Y5t6yLqzxj21h4g0QTQrW-iDCN8qbH4tIiGbZK8w3smJuGF-lCxyNW2AuNVlrHO

He's always around. Just part of the South Congress fabric now.

I'd definitely pick Ian Moore (rock mode) over Next of Kin, who really need to work on being even more precious. Blech.
Just remembered we were at the same show at the Austin Music Awards in March 2024...
Ian Moore, Eve Monsees... Speedy Sparks on bass, Chris Layton (can't see him) was on drums. Ben Buck was ready to go on next.

Is he back to the Texas gunslinger Ian or is he still folkie Ian?
I'd go see the guy with the strat and a really loud amp.
Last two shows I've seen he's been slaying with the guitar. From what I know, he really wanted to explore the other style but we know what pays.

I've never done this series, looks cool though. We saw Ian Moore a few weeks ago at Antone's, he was just as good as ever.
Seen him a couple of times over the past year as he was starting to put on more shows... one at SXSW at last year at the Austin Music Awards. His playing is so spot on. Haven't been to these either but might opt for this on Thursday instead of the Drop-In.

A lifetime ago, I used go to Paris/St. Cloud on business in the summer... imagine summer heatwaves while wearing a suit. It sucked. I was dying and, yes, even got to enjoy a taxi ride to Orly with a non-deodorant wearing coworker. Good times.
