I added a few extra links, mainly for the Browne lodging and flight searches.
The first is Trip Advisor, this is a great site for searching lodging. Once you type in your location and stay dates, you can sort the results by lodging types (hotels, B&B's, apartments and such), you can also sort by price, stars and reviewer ratings. Nick and I have found the reviews of lodging to be very helpful, keep in mind you have to take the really great and really terrible reviews with a grain of salt. Some folks are just never happy, or happy with everything.
The second link is for Kayak, Mamma and Papa Browne, this is the site Nick found the good flights into Germany and out of Paris that we looked at during our little breakfast planning session.
On another note, here is a photo of our feet in the sand in Rincon, Puerto Rico. No, no, no we will not be basking in the sun on the beach during this trip, but it is just a nice reminder to relax and enjoy the planning process, because boy oh boy can it feel overwhelming at points. There is a ton to see and we will have a great time seeing lots of sights, but we may not be able to see all of them.......try as we might. Now go make yourself a pina colada, put a Jimmy Buffet album on and get back to planning!
