We did a similar tour for 5 weeks in Feb/March 2020. just before covid lockdowns. We would go back in a minute if not for DH's walking problems (spinal issues + CMT/HMSN) and will if he improves.

If you decide to go for a hotel more in the center of Paris check out www.astotel.com Great hotels, nice breakfast and you can drop in at any other hotel of the group for a coffee, tea or soft drink + cookie in the afternoon. We loved Bradford Elysees.

Best wishes!

Frugal and retired, too We ERed 10 years ago at 55/61. It was possible because we are frugal by nature and upbringing. However, we have spent and will spend to enjoy life. We prefer memories to stuff and now that DH has some mobility issues we are glad that we have travelled a lot up to now.

I am so sorry. Please get your documents updated, instruct your relatives about your wishes and where to find important documents and stuff and get yourself on the waitinglist of a specialised care home. Then go on with your life and make the best of every day.

Is the lower paying job still like you remember it or has it changed negatively in the meantime? Objects in the rear view mirror may appear nicer than they are...
