25 Days To Go!

The days are slowly melting away (with how hot it's been, they're literally melting away) and we're excited about making our Eurail reservations. We had a little scare with the Eurail Passes, but that's all fixed and done with. Now, we're hoping to start booking our museum tickets in Florence. Before we go to see the famous "David", we're going to spend a "womantic" (in ryan's words) week in Paris. We were very fortunate to find an apartment that suits our needs; it comes with, cool photographs and even four bikes. (Cindy still needs to learn how to ride a bike! yikes!) It has a bed that comes down from the ceiling, great space-saver, a computer with internet, tv, dvd, washer and dryer and a nice view from the 6th floor balcony. We can't wait!

33 Days To Go!


June is almost over and we can't believe that our trip is just a little over a month away (by 3 days)... London will be our first stop. We get to spend one day in the city, so we have to make the most of it. We will be extremely tired at the end of the day, fortunately for the two of us, we will get to relax like royalty at our four star hotel that evening, The White House, in Regent's Park, London. Star magazine reports that Sienna Miller (Jude Law's ex-girlfriend) walks her dog there every morning. Not bad, huh? What's even better is that the room is free! Thank you Trip Rewards Points...

40 Days To Go!

Hello Everyone,
We've just bought our Rail Passes this week at AAA and got a good discount. We're definitely taking the train. Now all we have to do is wait for our passes to arrive and we can start making our train reservations. We also booked some day trips to Pisa, Siena and San Gimignano. There was one slight setback with our Cannes portion of the trip. Unfortunately, we realized that there is no train service from Cannes to Florence the day that we needed to leave. Now, we find ourselves forced to spend yet another night at the Best Western Hotel Univers in the French Riviera, we're very upset! (lol)

44 Days To Go!


Hey Everyone,
We're getting more and more anxious by the minute. We've been spending a lot of time looking into Venice and we finally found a super-nice place to stay at for a very reasonable price. It's on Lido, an island south of Venice island (Yes, Venice is an island for those of you who didn't know that). We're very happy with it because we'll still be able to see the "tourist" attractions like St. Mark's Square, Doge's Palace, the Rialto Bridge, etc., but we'll also get to see another, quieter side of Venice too. The best part is
that Lido has an awesome beach.
