Oh Suzi, that is awful. She is purposely trying to piss you off?! I am so glad I like my mother in law. Makes my life easier.
I have some (American) friends who have traveled to both Paris and London and they all said the same thing... London is the more expensive place! That is why the Bruges thing gives me pause. I mean, I love waffles, beer and chocolate as much as the next person, but I am more than happy to stick to cheese, wine and pastries in Paris. And I will do it while sitting on Jim Morrison's sexy, sexy grave....
