Hey Raf, are the rumors true that if any of the canals are low they make you take buses instead?

Do you have to choose between Normandy and Paris?

When you land in Boston are you spending time there or just catching a flight home same day?

we could always plan a GTG, the Boston folks have been clamoring for one... Be nice if we work it so you could attend, but might be tough at the end of such a long trip. A thought to explore though as it comes closer
