[quote=Anonymous]Your first day in London is going to be rough after an overnight flight.  Plan on no one sleeping (just in case they can't) and see if you can do an early check in wherever you will be staying.

I haven't been to London in years but did Paris last year with a 12 year old.  We saved a ton of money on food by grabbing sandwiches from bakeries or crepes from food carts, as opposed to sit down meals.  My sons least favorite meal in Paris was the one sit-down meal.  It's no joke they like leisurely meals but it just took too long.  For Paris, definitely check out the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe (neat stores nearby).  Give yourself plenty of time for the Louvre- you will probably not be able to see it all.  The Catacombes are super cool for kids but they are closed at least one weekday.  The Notre Dame is worth it too.  And the Montparnasse Cemetary is very interesting.

Your itinerary has to be a personal decision based on how much relaxing you want to do and how much you want to cram in.  When we travel, we go non-stop since we have limited time and don't know when/if we will ever return to a destination.  We did Paris-Heidelberg-Interlaken-Florence-Venice-Salzburg-Munich (stopping and smelling the roses along the way) in 17 days last year and had an absolute blast.  [/quote]
