The first time we went, we spent a few hours at the airport in Paris. When my husband took my daughter last year, they almost missed their connecting flight in Amsterdam (due to horrendous lines at customs, and by "lines," my daughter explained, they really meant a mosh pit of humanity.

Welcome to fall in Florida! Yes, we get pumpkins but no pumpkin patches. Not real ones, anyway. Some of the churches and schools create their own by bringing in truckloads of pumpkins and scattering them on the grass. They tend to charge a small fortune for them, too, as they use it as a fund raiser. We did that for years when my kids were little and were entrhalled with the pumpkin patch idea.
