I like TG, but this post made me laugh out loud in my office and cause me to lie about why

No need to be a campaigner about it.

I found London to be the most expensive place.
Think all big tourist cities are though.

What do you think is the right amount of time for each city, if you are running a jam packed schedule...

Sight seeing. Paris, Rome, London, Barcelona,NY... 4 days pushing it?

I haven't been to New York so I cant comment.......but personally 4 days in London sightseeing would be too much.

I was there for a 7 days partying......never saw the sun (not sure if it exists there ) for 6 days and decided on the last day to do sightseeing.
Did it in a day and to be honest I should have caught up on sleep.

Spend more time in Paris if you can. Just my two cents.

P.S If you need anyone to carry your bags I am offering my services.......you lucky bastard!

Lol I'm working 2 jobs for it and sacrificing a lot for a year... Me in my 20's would have partied but now I think I can sink piss here...

Definitely worth the sacrifice.......I heard a great quote a while ago and it has stuck with me ever since.

"A HOLIDAY IS AN INVESTMENT IN LIFE"

My mate with terminal illness gave me a big wake up call, we are not guaranteed anything in life so we should live out of dreams now while we can...

4 days in New York will only leave you wanting more.

A full week is probably the max I can allow but I hear it is amazing and unlike anything else.

A week is good.
Yes it's amazing, I found the people helpful and friendly and felt completely safe by the way.

I spent my honeymoon in New York. It's an awesome place, very friendly.

We only did 4 days in London, and for one full day we went out to a country town.
We spent 6 days in Paris. Not anywhere near enough. A week in the French countryside was good, but again, you could spend a month and not be satisfied.
4 days in Rome sounds about right.
But as you are looking at sightseeing, this goes for all places, the top tourist attractions can be packed. Get skip the line tickets as much as possible. Waiting 45 minutes to an hour or more to get in a lift at the Eiffel Tower is a waste if time. Time that can be better spent walking the Seine.

I climbed the stairs at the Eiffel Tower. Not sure if you can still do that, it was a while ago...

Yeah I'm doing my research, apparently there is a smaller entrance to the Louvre that not many know about instead of queing out the front all day.... I don't want to waste a second because I may never get back but already paranoid about flight delays and missing flights lol and also getting robbed...

Yes you still can.
We got sick of waiting for the elevator down. And as we had eatan a lot of very rich frog food, walking down was a good thing

Louvre is amazing but you need to be sure about what you want to see. It would take a week to see everything.

I read once that if you spent 10 seconds looking at everything in the Louvre it would take you over 30 years. Think they included the stuff in the basements as well.

When we were there we went straight to The Mona Lisa. It was amazing but I'm sure we missed out on a lot better stuff.

The only way to discover Paris is by walking around.......amazing place one of my favourites.

The woman in Barcelona............wow absolutely amazing!

You sure you don't want me to carry your bags?

True but I think you will find that the most beautiful women in the world reside in Medellin Colombia!

Finals footy would be the furthest thing from anyones mind in Medellin!
