So, I think we worked out our itinerary. We're spending six nights in Paris, one in Brussels and three in Gent. We'll take the train to Bruges one day and hopefully spend another tooling around the countryside on bikes, weather permitting. Otherwise, we'll figure out how to spend that third day (Antwerp, another day in Gent or Bruges?) once we get there and get a stronger sense of what's most appealing to us. Of course, your suggestions are still very much welcome.

Thanks for your input!
