Fat people unite.

Buy an airline and make wider seats.

Huge hotel rooms with walk in showers and walk in refrigerators.

I am sure there are very uncomfortable hurdles in life when you are not fat, but morbidly obese, but complaining about trips to Paris should only be riddiculed. Few people globally get to visit this wonderful city. I wonder how many French people have never been there.

It fascinating to me the person thinks the world cares.

I was working a contract at SHAPE and had a weekend "off". It was an excuse to travel to Paris with a co-worker. We drove to the edge of town and parked the rental car. In my best French, I ordered train tickets to get us downtown. We emerged from the train station in the middle of a big protest that was being quelled by the police. A few blocks away, the Louvre. It was a Sunday morning and we were blessed with free admission. Good thing since ATMs did not exist and we somewhat underestimated how much cash to take out for the weekend. The Louvre was great. On exit, we realized that the cash on hand would buy us an ice cream cone (each), pay for the parking lot and put one tank of gas into the rental to return to SHAPE. We enjoyed seeing the Eiffel Tower from ground level, but didn't have money to visit. It worked out. A interesting visit.
