1.

First sentence:
correct.

Second sentence:
Did you have an actual time limit? Sounds a bit weird. If you meant "lack of time", I'd rewrite the sentence.
"but due to our lack/want of time"
Disney Land, Eiffel Tower and Paris have to be capitalised.

Third sentence:
- "one and a half hours"
- capitalise "Belgium"
- there's a grammatical problem in your sentence. The conditional is wrongly used. Your sentence should be like this:
"Paris will only be one and a half hours from Belgium if we go by train.
But since I assume you actually went by train and not just thought about it. You can also write:
"Having gone by train, we reached Paris in one and a half hours."

Fourth sentence:
- capitalise "Susan"
- rewrite the sentence: "I really wished Susan and Joy had been with me but since Susan dosen't have a passport, it was simply not possible.

Last sentence:
fine.

2. Should this be a question or a conclusion?
If it were a question, you'd have to write: "So are you all ...?"

3. It's better to write: "My brother's girl-friend/wife gave birth to a baby boy last Thursday. They name him "Samuel".
