Hello! We had a very pleasant Skype chat on Sunday with a few Adventurers. We are fortunate that a few have been to London and Paris before and could share their experiences. We discussed a some possible plans prior to the adventure and when we are not with our ABD guides.
For October 3, some of us are looking to book a High Tea. It could be more difficult for a large group, so we hope to discuss a time and location during our next chat.
There was interest in possibly taking in a play or musical. Here's a link to what's being offered: http://www.playbill.com/article/schedule-of-upcoming-london-shows
We are looking at taking the Warner Brothers Studio Harry Potter Tour on October 4. We'd like to schedule the 10 am tour to give us plenty of time to return for the ABD dinner. I've been told it's a fascinating tour whether you have only a passing interest in the books and films or if you are planning to pack your house robes and wand.

In London on Day 2, dinner is on our own. There was interest in the soon-to-open Davies & Brook. Link: https://www.claridges.co.uk/restaurants-bars/davies-and-brook/
Since we'll be at the Eiffel Tower on October 8 (Day 5) and we are to have lunch on our own, we thought it would be fun to eat in the Jules Verne Restaurant, which will be newly refurbished. Link: https://www.restaurants-toureiffel.com/en/jules-verne-restaurant/lunch.html
Dinner is on our own on October 9 (Day 6). If you're a fan of the film "Midnight in Paris," you might want to eat at Epicure. Link: https://www.oetkercollection.com/hotels/le-bristol-paris/restaurants-bar/restaurants/epicure/
Hopefully, I got all these dates sorted out properly. For anyone who would like to join in the conversation and planning, we plan to meet for another Skype call on Sunday, April 28 at 1 pm (PT).
Sorry we missed the Skype chat. I totally forgot about it. After showing Tina this post she said every thing looks great and we should do them all. We have been to London before but this will be our first Paris trip. I would love to help with some of the planning if there is help needed. Ron...
