All right, so Thanksgiving weekend I'm going to Paris and London. I'm going to fly from Rome into Paris and then fly out of London into Rome.

If by TGV you mean the underground railway, I'd say fuck no. That just freaks me out. Now a hydrofoil is fun as hell, minus the bit-too-bouncy parts. But hell, maybe you should take the train just to say you did it. You could always get a returning flight home.
