<font color=crimson size=2>What could be a better Christmas present than a trip?</size> That's exactly what my husband and I did for each other this year. We decided on the quaint medieval town of <b>Antibes</b>, found a small flat to rent via internet, cashed in the frequent flyer miles and off we flew to sunny skies and mild weather. This time of year was wonderful - no tourists! Danny, our landlord (I say this because for one week we considered his apartment our home) picked us up at the Nice airport and took us to the flat. He then gave us a quick 15 minute tour of the surroundings with helpful information like where to find the best bakery, the best restaurants, the market area, etc. Making sure that we had his phone number in case we needed anything, he left us to explore this enchanting town that for centuries was the center of squabble between various factions on the Mediterranean. <b>Antibes</b> proved to be exactly what we were looking for in this trip - somewhere semi-laid back that could be a base from which to take day trips. This was a very beautiful, relaxing atmosphere and because the dollar is now so strong against the French franc, THE least expensive trip we've taken overseas. And now I want to say to Danny O'Reilly: <b>Thank You</b> so much for your gracious hospitality. You are forever endeared to us! I wish you a healthy and prosperous New Year and I hope that someday soon our paths will cross again. (p.s. to my VT friends: write to me if you're interested in having his address - he's a wonderful host!)
Because we actually spent very little time in Nice, I am recording this trip in a TRAVELOGUE under <b>Antibes.</b> Please visit and enjoy, Ciao, Pam</font>
