I think the stopover in Singapore or Hong Kong (which I am disturbing myself by continually writing "Hong Kock") is 3-4 hours (though I'd stay for at least weekend in Hong Koc...Kong), and the flights leave Paris late in the evening (about 11:30pm?). They usually get here early in the morning, about 6 or 7 am.
...and, as mentioned, icecream (shh, but, not to provoke an argument...Massimo's = best...icecream...ever!).

probably cost even MORE than this upcoming epic voyage,

That's definitely a possiblity. When friends visited from the States, their airfares were something like US$4-5K, whereas the same purchased here were as low as AUS$2K (which sometimes included 2 nights accomodation in Hollywood). Note that these were the
same QANTAS flights, but you could not purchase them "in reverse" so to speak. I think international visitors subsidise international airfares for Australian customers...which I'm okay with.

The one reason I am not currently in Paris/Venice/Nepal/et cetera: two dogs. In my case, it's the amount of time I'd be away from them, and not actually trusting anyone to mind them.

I just take words like "ugly" and chalk them up to personal opinion. It's just that a prefer personal opinion to be stated as personal opinion rather than absolute fact.
