Roland Garros (October 6, 1888 – October 5, 1918) was a French fighter pilot who is still erroneously called the world’s first fighter ace. (That honor went to another French airman, Adolphe Pegoud.)

(I think I know the answer) Now that being said, if we suspend reality for a momemt and you were able to whisper in the ear of the Average American voter as he or she was in the voting booth, what would you say to the voters of the United States?

We went to UPS and they said no problem – they promised delivery to our doorstep within 4 to 5 business days of our arrival. The charge was $400.00. This turned into a nightmare – it took ten days and endless phone calls before a UPS truck finally arrived bearing ONE of our two bags. But the shocker was— There was an additional cost of $478.00
which we had to pay to the driver. He would not release the bag until he had the cash.
We have been unable to ascertain how customs arrived at this amount (the second bag arrived the next day and there was no charge).
Okay, Donerail is going to Normandy next November. Let’s all share our favorite places (and activities) in Normandy. There are the well touristed Mont St. Michel, Giverny, Bayeux and the WWII beaches. What other places have you found? What was your favorite?
Thanks.

I live in Michigan in the United States. I love France! I will be attending college this fall to further my studies in French because I want to be a French teacher for high school students.
Hope to hear from you!
Is there some reason my posts are being edited out? Just curious.
22 Read MoreI found my posts by clicking on "Today’s" above right and directly under "Terms of Service." When I click on the navigation button and select "Threads," it says the category is currently empty. (Of course, if you don’t do that first, you won’t find this information so I’m not sure why I typed it!)
At any rate, if you lose a post, try the "Today’s" or "Last 24 Hours" buttons above. Presumably the topics will eventually be returned to the "Threads" section.
If this is a forum improvement, I suspect a lot of people will not find the threads and will disappear to a more user friendly forum. Just my humble opinion, of course. Perhaps I’m just cyberdeficient.
8 Read MoreUnder Travel Help a person named "Simmie" just asked about handicapped transportation from Metz to LaRochelle. It was listed as being posted May 14 although it is currently May 13 (3:12 PM Pacific time).
At any rate, I replied, hit "Done" and the entire thread simply disappeared. Is it out in cyberspace or are you now reviewing posts before they go up?
Just curious.
