After all this, we're back to Paris and London.
Paris: It looks like the neighborhoods around the Louvre are nice. Any hotel recommendations? (Around $200 USD/Night)
London: Seems more spread out than Paris. What are the good areas to stay in? Again, any hotel recommendations?

For London, I think anywhere near a tube station is good (in zone 1-2), as you'll probably be travelling by underground most of the time.

I would prefer Paris if you speak French. It is really, really, really nice. And I liked it better than London (I've been to London and Paris, but those are the only times I was out of the country). There are probably (though I wouldn't know) some rather cheap 2-person rooms at least somewhere.

We don't speak french, but will take a crash course and try hard.

Well, my French was pathetic and I got by. Just know basic things (Hello/Goodbye, Please/Thank You, I want yadda yadda yadda, how much does this cost, etc.) and you'll be okay. All the tourist-serving people (restaurants, museums, etc.) speak English anyway, so if you really need to you could change to English. But start with French.

I live in Massachusetts! I used to be Huayna capac and live in Qosqo and I used to be a pagoda who lived in Chang'an (I coordinate my avvie, custom user title, and location)
To be fair, When I was in Quebec I only encountered a couple of people who couldn't or wouldn't speak English.

If that's what you like, then definately Washington D.C. Smithsonian has a wide variety of everything (all kinds of museaums and galleries), and most of them is all free admission. Even the National Zoo is free admission. Plus there is all the magnificant architeture of all the monuments and federal buildings. I am privelaged to have lived a driving distance away from it.

Moscow. Has vastly underrated museams and galleries that are worth checking out for.
You can easily travel in Paris with the subway.
What type of hotel are you looking for?
You could try to contact Marla_Singer if she's still hanging around, she's from big Paris she could help you better than me.
The buses are much better than the trains in Paris. Unless things have drastically changed in the last five years.
I never take buses in Paris, I'm using the subway. When I need to go to Paris, which is not very common.
So I can't compare.
However, from what I've heard, traffic jams have doubled in 5 years.

Well, compared to Australia, Paris' bus system is utopian. There are bus stations like there are train stations. It is very straight forward and easy to use, an a lot cleaner than the subway. Oh, and you can't see things outside when you are underground. But, if traffic really has dramatically increased, then trains may be better, I guess.
I'm not sure, as the traffic has increased a lot for cars, because they made special lanes for buses...
So for buses it may be OK.
