Planning for My Next Trip to Europe

Charles Sumner said, "The thought of going abroad makes my heart leap." So started David McCullough in his new book, The Greater Journey Americans in Paris. And doesn't this quote speak to me?!


I bought my Boston to Paris Alitalia tickets for my  2011 junket in January. Now my departure date is this month, as I will leave on August 31st and return on October 4th. Originally I planned to stay in France and explore places I had not seen. However, interesting options presented themselves along the way. So I will fly into Paris via Rome and take the train to Stuttgart for three nights. Then I will be in Berlin for four nights. The rest of the trip will take me to Granville, France, in Normandy, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg, and four nights in Paris before I leave. Much of this trip will be via train, as I purchased a Railpass. So now I am finalizing details and getting ready. But first I am off to Seattle for the week....
Hope you will travel along with me....:))

  3. Hi Debs,
    Looking forward to pics of Reichstag and the wall. Christine wants a full report and I'll have to let her know that Annete is very nice.
