Right now it looks like 3 days in Hamburg, and 2 in Paris. We have one day with nothing scheduled the day before we leave. Any suggestions?
Recommendations of hotels in Paris?
Best places to shop? Eat?
DH is also wanting to get a language translator for his needs--any recommendations?

Well, the exchange sucks, when I went it was E1,70 to US$1.00 plus the commision. So you pay almost 2 to 1. Just take your atm card and use it, you still get the sucky exchange rate (technically this varies day to day) but no commision fees and the ATM useage fee is usualy only E1 or E1,50 as opposed to US$2 or 3 or upwards.
