Whew!!! It took many hours, but we did it and let's face it now that we are retired time is on our side. We are planning the trip of a lifetime and I'm glad to report that the most important aspects of the trip are confirmed.
1. We begin our vacation by flying to London and staying at a B&B near Buckingham Palace. This place was listed in 1000 places to go before you die book. Although it is now under new management that's ok. We do get a full English Breakfast. I'm eager to find out just what that is.
2. Take the Eurostar through the Chummel to Paris. We found a lovely hotel in the Montmarte area, which I understand to be the artistic side of Paris. It's filled with small cafes. Ooh La La. Should be heavenly to walk around there and try the pastries and baquettes.
3. From Gay Paree we begin our Eurorail journey to Munich. We'll arrive the day before the Opening Day of the Octoberfest. We hope to see the parade and the opening of the first keg. Oh there may be a beer or two drunk as well. : )
4. On to Innsbrock, Austria for one night. This is a lovely European village.
5. And moving on to Venice. We plan to take the water taxi while there and see it all.
6. Final stop before our Mediterranean cruise will be Rome.
7. And now our 13-day Mediterranean Holy Land Cruise to Israel, Turkey, Greece and back to Naples Italy before returning to Rome.
Oh my. I can't believe this is going to really happen. We've talked about this trip for 20 years.
Now the fun of planning what to do in each of our wonderful destinations.
More to come.
