    Carli does the work and sets out a spread for the Cocktails and Carry-ons crew. Carli, Greg, and Diana compare the number of times they’ve been to Paris and debate whether or not Paris in Las Vegas counts as a half.

Diana shares an alternative to the Eiffel Tower for a stunning city view, and we talk about the importance of “pee money”.
