Don't forget about it completely, book now for later on in the year and show her the tickets on the day. Don't forget Valentine's day is just a farce and you don't need one day to demonstrate your feelings. There you are, cracked it

The cheapest Eurostar fair is 29.99 each way, if you go at peak times/dates then it'll be more expensive.

I wouldn't go by ferry (or coach), the train is much nicer. The train is also quicker than flying (once you take into account the time it takes to get to and through the airport).

I went on the 12th Feb last year, weather was fuggin awesome. I had loadsa photos but deleted them off this computer

We were in a hotel called Jardines D'eiffel. 5 mins walk away from the tower and had a tower view, albeit limited but still could see it flashing away at night. We just walked around for the day amazed at it all, wonderful place and there are so many things I wanna go back and see. Which is why for £180, we will this year be doing the Parrys coach tour instead so we can see more.

EDIT: See here for my crappy snaps http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w46/plowsie/Paris/

Oh I forgot about the scammers under the efiel tower!!!

Myself and Kerri were walking under it when a Rose Seller offered to give one to Kerri. I said to Kerri no less than 5 times, do not take the rose, do not take the rose, I have only got a 50 Euro note do not take the rose.

What did she do??? She took the Rose!!!

So instead of the Romantic ah I got a rose, give the Seller 5 euros behind me all cool sophisticated and sauve it turned into me asking the Seller to give me change, argueing that he didn't give me enough, he then threw a few more coins into my hand, threw a few more Roses at Kerri and bolted!!!
