What a ferry good idea
YOU might think there are only two ways of getting to Paris: catch a cheap flight or hop on a Eurostar.
And then you stay in a city centre hotel. But there is, as a certain Prime Minister once argued, a third way, and I reckon it beats the other two options hands-down.
Drive for an hour from York to Hull, and you can embark on a P O ferry and spend a night cruising across the North Sea before embarking at Zeebrugge for breakfast. Then a three-hour drives takes you to a campsite in the countryside outside the French capital, equipped with superb swimming and other recreational facilities.
From here, you can take day trips into the capital and also to Disneyland Paris, before driving north again to spend a couple of days on another site near Amsterdam.

Eurostar back on track
Eurostar confirmed a full recovery from the aftermath of the July 7 bombings today as it announced record sales.
The cross-channel train service suffered a dip in customer growth following the attacks two years ago, as tourists stayed away from London and continental Europe.
Eurostar said it had overcome the slump to post revenues of 518.3m last year, an increase of 11.7% on 2005. Passenger numbers on the London-Paris-Brussels service rose 5.4% to 7.85 million, double the rate of growth in the previous year.
Article continuesRichard Brown, Eurostar chief executive, said an improvement in punctuality - which resulted in nine out of ten trains arrving on time - had helped win back customers.

Early AAA Stent Grafts Graded C-minus
When they looked at outcomes over the long haul, the EUROSTAR investigators found that up to eight years after surgery, 19.9% of patients had died from all causes, and that 3% had died from aneurysm-related causes. In addition, 7.1% required conversion to open repair, and 2.4% had rupture of the aneurysm.
The annual incidence rate for all-cause death was 7.1 per 100 patient-years (95% confidence interval, 5.7-8.5), for aneurysm-related death was 1.9 per 100 (95% CI, 1.4-2.6), for conversion to open repair was 1.6 per 100 (95% CI, 0.9-2.3), and for rupture was 0.8 per 100 (95% CI, 0.3-1.2).
The complications with the highest incidence rate per 100 patient-years were endoleak (13.0 cases), stenosis/thrombosis (4.6 cases), migration (4.3 cases), and suture breakage (4.
