[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me if it sounds too much/not enough, or if I should skip something or I forgot something good? Traveling in June with DH and two teen daughters. I should add that my younger daughter is very skeptical of the trip and doesn't want to "spend all day walking around and looking at stuff." Thanks in advance.

London:
Day 1 (arriving on the red eye) - Big Bus Tour (getting off near BP/Cenotaph/Whitehall/Parliament/etc.) and London Eye
Day 2 - Afternoon time slot booking at Harry Potter Museum in Watford. Taking the train.
Day 3 - British Museum, Covent Garden/Neal's Yard, maybe afternoon Tea this day? (any suggestions that aren't 70 pounds per  person??)
Day 4 - Cambridge, punting along "the backs" (DH wants this, he studied abroad there ages ago.)
Day 5 - Tower of London/Tower Bridge in the morning. Afternoon??? - ideas are: Westminster Abbey, one of the many gardens, Churchill War Rooms or see a musical.

Paris:
Day 1 (arrive on a morning chunnel trail from Paris) - see Eiffel Tower and Arc du Triomphe
Day 2 - Saint Chappelle/Notre Dame, Musee D'Orsay, Montmartre in the afternoon 
Day 3 - Versailles
Day 4 - Louvre, Marais District, maybe take a Macaron class?[/quote]

As far as it being 'too much' and listening to your young daughter... I think you are doing pretty well planning one thing for the morning, and one thing for the afternoon... in general.   You have mostly done this in London.   
Other ideas for London:  Family enjoyed visiting Greenwich.  Can be combined with Thames river cruise.
Paris: Seems a little too packed, but that depends on how much time you want to spend inside the big museums on the list, like the Louvre.  Also - would likely skip Montmartre on day #2.  Notre Dame /Saint Chapelle and Musee d'Orsay is already plenty.  Leave some time off to enjoy meals/people watching/parks/shopping. [/quote]
