I think it's about 11 days until DW and I head for London on Apr 6! 3rd trip to the UK Capital, and I've been planning and planning...

There are so many things we didn't do the first two times; the London Eye. The Whispering Gallery at St Paul's. The Changing of the Guard. National Portrait Gallery. A West End show.

For a change, we're staying at a 5-star Mayfair hotel. I think that's the thing I'm most apprehensive about: what if it's a total let-down? TripAdvisor users give mixed reviews of all those hotels...

15 days until take off to Dubrovnik. I can already taste the calamari and feel the sun on my face - I hope! I hope the Buza Bar is well stocked.

38 days until our trip back to

Paris, Normandy, Brittany, the Loire Valley, then back to Paris.
My husband and I has never taken a vacation this long (six weeks). I can't wait.

What a great thread! It is so exciting to read all these great itineraries.

DH and I are poring over travel books, trying to decide on an itinerary for this summer. We know we must hit our favorites: Venice and Florence (this will be my 4th, his 3rd visit), but feel like we should broaden our horizons a bit...so we've looked into Geneva, the Loire Valley, Amsterdam. I know they're a bit far-flung to include in a 2 week trip. Any suggestions on a great destination to add to Florence & Venice (we've already visited Rome, and love it but we'd like one new place).

CyberT - why not Lake Como, or, the Dolomites? They are each a lot closer and if you've not been, you'll be charmed immediately and want to make it an annual thing (I can say that with certainty about Lake Como, having visited last May. The Dolomites are a new destination but I just have a feeling.... )

My countdown - 54 days!

spinch Mar 30th, 2008 03:40 PM

Ok. Now it's 7 weeks, 6 days (or 55 days).
Off to Sicily for the first time- only 5 days, but that's all we can squeeze in for this trip. Then back to Greece for 19 days. I miss it sooo much.

Brazilnut Mar 30th, 2008 06:14 PM

Leaving for London in two days...

Dejais Mar 30th, 2008 06:25 PM

25 days until I leave for Paris for my third visit there. This will be my second trip with my mother and we are very excited. A bit calmer than the first time but excited all the same. :)

HappyTrvlr Mar 30th, 2008 07:38 PM

One week TODAY, I will be at the airport heading for 3+ weeks in France -- 8 days Normandy and then 2 weeks in Paris.

Can't wait!

mebe Mar 31st, 2008 05:43 AM

In exactly six weeks, I abandon my children (with my hubby) for a relaxing, selfish "do whatever I want" week in Rome and Florence.

I'm doing the super happy dance :)

ggnga Mar 31st, 2008 07:51 AM

Hello, Now only 10 days until I head back to Paris. I will start my extended stay. I will be in an apartment near Bastille for at least two months and a week in Ireland in June.

I was having "nerves" for the last few weeks but talked to my "honey"
today and all is wonderful!!

It's TOMORROW NIGHT to Venice, followed by Padua and Bellagio !! Can't believe it. Have been printing out everything, thanks to all of you.

I'm doing my happy dance, too, in between packing and printing.
