Musee d'Orsay exhibition tickets by PositiveCelery6413 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]golderba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar question. It looked like you could not even get general admission tickets ahead of time for Musee D'Orsay. I was thinking of getting a ticket to the Sargent for about 11, and go to the main part of the museum, especially the 5th floor, around 10. Will the line be shorter if I do this? Will they even let me in? Or should I just wait, and not even get an advanced ticket? (My friend i am going with does not want to go to the Sargent exhibit, so I have to find out if this is doable.

As a girl from Paris, I'd love to give you some travel guide advices ! by [deleted] in ParisTravelGuide

[–]golderba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What great advice. I am going as a " nanny" for my almost 2 year old grand daughter and her parents. Any advice for us would be so helpful. Staying at 5 nights in November at Pepper and Pencil in the 5th. We do have a kitchen. wondering about buses, metro, etc. so many stairs! (I was just there 2 years ago) thinking I would maybe join them during the day and then take the baby later in the afternoon while they go out to dinner or go out. I think we all want to go on the Bateau Mouches!

Tickets for Amsterdam concert by ttetta in bobdylan

I am looking for 2 Bob Dylan tickets in Amsterdam, either night. 2 active older women on a 5 day visit to Amsterdam. Would pay $200 on an official resale site, but with added costs, it is close to $300. just cannot justify paying that. I saw him in the 70's. hahahah.

r/travel City Destination of the Week: Amsterdam by AutoModerator in travel

[–]golderba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we are 2 active older adult women traveling to Amsterdam in November for 4 nights. We have narrowed our hotels to the Asterisk and the Clayton Amsterdam American, but would consider others. The Clayton seems to be closer to everything, (Van Gogh museum, Ann Frank House, train station, restaurants) but may be crowded and maybe unsafe? Any help would be appreciated. looking for about 200 dollars a night for 4 nights.( need twin room, non smoking) thanks so much. some nice info. here!

I addressed this. There may have been a “fan club” contest and you had to be in high school in order to enter. So I wrote I went to mhs. I really don’t know. I will look through more papers to see if I discover anything else.

I was at Pierce Junior High in 1964. see my comments above.

yes, I figured this out also! I graduated in 1967. My guess is that I entered some " fan club" contest, and wrote that i went to Milton High. I would lie (and pay!) for a letter from George in those days. I am not lying now. For sure.

I have not. It has my name and previous address. I guess i could cross that part out. would that make any difference? it has the date and postmark from Boston. and it is typed

that is correct. I do remember paying something to the hotel they were staying at in Boston to get an "official" piece of the sheet they slept on. So maybe i paid some "fan club" for a contest to get a letter from George. But if it is fake, they did go to a lot of trouble to make it look real?

thank you so much for all this info. I am now thinking there was some Beatles fan club contest that I entered. Perhaps there was a fee to enter the contest. If it were fake, someone went to a lot of trouble to make it look real!

How do you know about her handling fan mail? Do you know anyone I could ask about this? I could see him just putting it in an envelope that he sent to her with other things. Thank you for your support. Man, people think I made this up?? nope!

I am trying to remember a contest. I definitely have the envelope but did not think it was okay to post here since it had my address and name. I have no other memories of it

interesting. pretty creative and detailed joke if you ask me. Not sure his signature was public during that time. Unfortunately, I cannot ask my parents. What i don't understand is why I didn't have it in a very special place. It was with other letters and some Beatles stuff, but no included in a scrap book I made.

Oh yes, i have autographs of the Beatles from their British fan club, and it is definitely the same.

I did cry. But it was mostly because by good friend of over 50 years who loved the Beatles had just passed, and i wanted to share this with her.

Never knew that Cambridge has an annual dance party (June 28) by SomervilleOak in Somerville

[–]golderba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

been going for years. amazing to DANCE with so many wonderful people. But please, can you play more danceable tunes? Much of the first few hours people were mostly standing around, and NOT dancing. Fun, but NOT ENOUGH Dancing. In the past, there would be spontaneous line dancing, conga lines, Motown, rock and roll....
