#8 BARCELONA, SPAIN
Barcelona beats Madrid for the top city in Spain visited by U.S. travelers, especially 20-somethings on holiday in Europe. It's an arty, youthful city on the sea with a labyrinth of narrow streets and gorgeous plazas, branded by fairy-tale architecture from the quirky godfather of modern Catalonian architecture, Antoni Gaudi.#4 PARIS, FRANCE
Millions of U.S. travelers flood the city of Paris every year to walk the romantic cobblestone streets of the Latin Quarter, kiss on the pedestrian bridges over the River Seine, marvel at the Gothic facade of old Notre Dame, or ride the elevator up the elegant iron legs of the Eiffel Tower for a grandstand view of the City of Light. And then, of course, there's the food… whether it's nibbling a fresh baguette from a riverside bakery or tucking into steak béarnaise at a tiny Montmartre bistro, everything tastes better in Paris.

Ok, let the destination then be Cancun, what if tickets there from Paris (plus the fare to Paris from Brussels) are cheaper than directly from Brussels?
And what if they were not typical Americans and were heading to, say, Agincourt (via Paris because it was cheaper):http://www.agincourt600.com/
Just don't start linking all Paris and Brussels airport and railway station sites and giving ticket prices from either to Cancun or Agincourt.

He means he want to see pics, which IMHO would be unwise.
I PMed you, if I am in error we can sort it.
Re: Thanks US marines!
It is all right. I was young then As I said in my answer to you, YEARS I wait for some to be interested in my pictures
Jump they said.
I am in the group. 1st experience in military life, I was 18
Insigna of the Infantery Combat School of Montpellier (rough translation) for NCO
Probably my second or 3 weeks. I am the one with the light machine gun, AA52, 7.5 mm, then 7,62 mn NATO renamed ANF1. We were still 32 in the platoon.
Me. With the sun in the eyes. Equipped with the sub-machine gun MAT 49, same weapon than my father had in Indochina (same type that is)
Parade, with the new FAMAS, Brilliant weapons. We were around 20 at that time.
Platoon before training (obstacle) I am at the left, last one.
Insigna of my NCO promotion; 67 Adjudant ARPIN, ESOA (not to mix with ENSOA which is other school multi-arms mixed) I was pure grunt.
Parade of the 10th Company, 4th platoon, spec in Mechanised Infantery combat. I then specialised in MILAN missile, but went back in Mechanised Infantery.
Commando Training. I choose a picture, because the actual insigna was stolen by a cousin, long time ago, I bought another one, but it is not the same.
Me. In front of the ladder of the Giants.
The 1 Commando Training Centre is divided in 2 site: Colioure in a former Templar fortress for the sea, sun and no sex activities
These pictures are not with me on it. I was teken in pictures by turists (Colioure is a tursistic town), but, first I would have spit on them if I would have some saliva left (and breath), two, they didn't gave me the pictures
Same comment.
2nd part: Montlouis: Vauban Fortress, as the design shows. Mountain Combat and final raid.
We were 17 left, 15 fit for the training, 5 got the medal, and I was one of them.
153 Infantry Regiment, 11th Company (instruction for the new drafties, 2 months of basis training).
Ok, have to go, wife insist I clean the bath room, family coming from Canad to visit for 2 weeks.
To be continued
