Lisbon and London are in the time zone, but Paris is one hour ahead.<BR/>Leona, Cybill: The 1st-class isn't nearly as impressive as it sounds, with the same furnishings, I think, as 2nd class, but with only the two of us as opposed to 6 people stacked in the same space. Skinny bed, functional but worn linens, but clean and private, all we really needed.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-47875655424721105322008-06-03T06:52:00.000-07:002008-06-03T06:52:00.000-07:00Oh the luxury of being able to travel 1st class, l...Oh the luxury of being able to travel 1st class, lucky that when we get older and less tolerant of things we can (almost) afford it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-37769914112752062482008-06-02T08:12:00.000-07:002008-06-02T08:12:00.000-07:00Glad to hear you got the train sorted out.

I'm sure the beaches are spectacular.<BR/><BR/>Take care<BR/>LeonaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-83951355609640786062008-06-02T07:41:00.000-07:002008-06-02T07:41:00.000-07:00This is a great post, but forgive me when I say th...This is a great post, but forgive me when I say that the most interesting thing for me is the fact that you put your watches back when you reached Portugal. I guess if I ever thought about it I would just assume that they would be in the same time zone as France and the rest of western Europe. So, you learn something new every day! Enjoy the rest of your trip, make the most of that paradise. PatriciaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
