Er, yes, but you don't need 10 days in Paris when you can pack everything into two or three. Even a short trip is good for the soul.
As my partner was with me for all the travel calamities I can safely conclude that its not just me who is jinxed but that is safe to assume that our experiences were and are probably typical of travel experiences in the rather crowded UK.
Unfortunately, or fortunately for you CD, we can't afford any more trips for some time so you are safe for this summer at least.
