Venice Carnival

Yes, I know this has nothing to do with Paris, but it could.  I could find some cheap flights from Paris (leaving from here is my attempt at connection) to Venice–we can be there in about 2 hours.  I know of a beautiful boutique hotel, filled with antiques and Murano glass chandeliers that we could stay at and I bet, at the very least, we could find a mask to wear because they are sold EVERYWHERE!  So, let’s be crazy and go……how could we miss this!

This has me written all over it.  I never leave the house without my crystals and ruff!  Is that Jack Sparrow all cleaned up next to her?
