   Went to Paris on a school trip back in the mid-70s. One of my classmates had actually packed four different pairs of pajamas for a seven day trip, in addition to three pairs of jeans and a few sweatshirts. The French teacher went to her house and repacked everything vital into one suitcase, getting rid of the excess – this was all before the extra baggage charge, but the teacher did not want to wait at the airport for two bags for one person. That was my experience in packing lightly.

   Or a view of it from a hotel in DC. On Green Acres once, they were going to DC, everyone in Hooterville said to visit the Eiffel Tower. At the end of the show, they were in their hotel room, Oliver opened the window, and there it was, right where it was supposed to be. Tthe Eiffel Tower.

   As a red blooded woman, I still hope she gets
   to go shopping. Not a “break the bank” spree,
   let’s get serious…Wally’s only an accountant.
   But she’s in PARIS. Let her walk the shops. Maybe
   1 dress. You gotta think..this is a housewife, and
   devoted mother. It’s the trip of a lifetime, for
   Joan. All she and Wally do is work and take
   care of kids. I for one think she deserves this.

   I agree that she needs to buy SOMETHING, but my first thought when you said one dress—where is she going to wear it? But then, I am one of those women who hates shopping.

   Wally is an Insurance Agent; he WON the trip for selling enough policies!

   At least I wasn’t the only one that thought that.

    I would want to tour Paris. When my husband and I went for a short vacation was at a fun place and not too much hotel time. We went for entertainment.

    I don’t see any mention of underwear. That wouldn’t take up much room in Joan’s suitcase. Or Wally’s. And there’d still be room for one nice item of clothing, and two or three inexpensive pieces. Sounds like she won’t need pyjamas, though. :)

    Paris – go off season, walk everywhere you possibly can, stop in cafes and small restaurants outside of tourist areas, learn a few words of French and talk to people (they will switch to English but will be impressed you bothered), hit the major spots you’re interested in on a city tour – saves time and you can always go back if you want to, get out of town for an afternoon if the weather is nice. The trains are easy and convenient. Have fun – it’s a vacation, not a job.

    She doesn’t need a dress, maybe a blouse or a gorgeous scarf. Then a piece of jewelry. Other than that she will have to buy souvenirs for everyone.
