My Itinerary & Cruise Resource

As the date gets closer to my big birthday trip to Europe, all the research we've been doing is paying off. For instance, Mark found this awesome resource for getting tips, insights and resources from "cruisers" who have learned the best options through their own travel.

Here it is: www.cruisecritic.com

We have asked them everything from scheduling drivers & trains to how to adjust to the time changes. People are so friendly and enjoy helping others make the most out of their trips. We have learned that there are many "seasoned" cruisers -- they sign their posts with all the ship names. =-)

Many people have written to ask...where are you going on your trip? Being the efficient planners that we are, we have put together an itinerary of each stop and what our preferred sites to see are. Plus, of course, being out of the office this long, I have to let someone know where we are in case of emergency. (ha ha)

Here is the plan:

Barcelona, Spain
Italy: Sicily, Naples, Rome, Florence
Nice, Monaco and VilleFrance
Geneva, Switzerland
New York

I'll be sure to post lots of pictures when I get back...

Where are your fun travel plans to this summer?
