Subject: [ILF] Happy New Year from the Frenchies and The Tourfest

Hi Everybody,

Just a very quick message to wish all of you a very Happy New Year from
Sonia and myself.  Can hardly believe we will really get into 1999 in a
couple of hours from now !!

And as we can see just having a look at the Eiffel Tower (sorry guys, you
will have to visit us in Paris  to notice that...), year 2000 is also coming
very quickly.  BUT, who cares about this coming into a new century, since
the only thing we have in mind is related to the end of January 99.  Just
can't wait to be there with all of you and see Mark live again after all
this time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Some of you already know, but just in case somebody else could be interested
in getting that personal info., Sonia and myself have already planned to
come to London on Wed., Jan. 27, and we are going to stay in the London area
until Monday, Feb. 1st.  We are still attending the Croydon and London
concerts with Morgan and Tony, and we will be pretty free over the rest of
our time there, even if we have already been thinking about doing the
tourists in London and enjoy our New Year shopping in that wonderful city.
And I want to make Sonia enjoy the famous High Tea at Harrod's !!!!  (a bit
of classy thing, but just loved it....)

Of course we are very open to any suggestion to meet and have good time all
together on the Sunday, that's the reason why we have decided to delay our
trip back to Paris on Feb. 1st, BTW.   According to Bilal's latest post,
things still need to be organized, and I wish we could make something
special on that day.  Just let us know a bit in advance and maybe we could
be of any help to the Brit or the Londoner guys when being there.....

See you 
Take Care,

Laure
