Bizi,

Are you putting pressure on yourself to make sure you get to see everything?

thanks you guys.
I just bought 4 books called the top 10 rome, paris, venice and florence. Dad recommended them. they look great!
Jeff read a bunch of stuff today about how many thieves there were at the train stations etc. lots of bad reviews....
sigh
There are many people mugged in the states, do we decide to not travel because of horror stories? The idea of taking a tour guided trip sounds even better.

Bizi,

The difference between travel in the US and in Europe is that
when most of us travel in the US, we blend in.
Some Americans, when they go to Europe, can standout immediately as Americans with cash in their pockets.


If you want to make things easy for yourself, cut the trip by a few days so
that you can afford a tour. Or join the tour on a tricky part of the trip so that
the company can do all of the work for you.

We discovered www.airbnb.com for a small bed and breakfasts thru out each place that we are staying. Cheaper rates and locals who can help guide us.
Looked at the train station earliest train to venice from florence is 830am, have decided to spend 2 nights there like we originally planned.
Getting excited for this trip.
I will look like an american with my fanny pack, and bright neon purple running shoes!
lol

I'm so glad you found that site and things are starting to come together! I'm also very happy to hear that you're not giving up on your plans to stay in Venice! It's great to hear your anxiety has lessened and you are just excited about the trip again because it is really exciting and a wonderful thing

Even though lots of Americans get mugged because they stand out, there are plenty of tips out there on how to safeguard your valuables when you travel. I'm sure you and Jeff will be experts at protecting your cash, cc's and passports by the time your trip comes around.

Hi there!
We just booked our room at the hotel caron in the area of marmais, paris 4e.
It was very expensive but this is where hubby wanted to stay and this may be our last trip overseas.

I just wrote to waves to tell her of our trip....I hope to hear from her....being in europe she may have some ideas for us????
I would love to hear from her. I really miss her on the forums.

It is fabulous! I know that you will be in Paris for a couple of days, and I'm so glad that you are spending the money to treat yourselves. This is a once and a lifetime trip and your 20th wedding anniversary such a special milestone!

Today
Showers and thunderstorms before 1pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm between 1pm and 4pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. High near 72. East wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

It started storming at 5am, loud thunder!

I have been holding down no drinking monday thru thursday and then drink too much on the weekends.
Have not drank and driven at all!
so that is good.

planning our trip has been exciting, kind of scared about it though....lots of horror stories.
I need to make sure my bipolar doesn't get out of whack so I can stay sane.

doing pretty good right now.
