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...

Ireland in June, leaving on the 11th and returning on the 25th. Not counting the days because we go to Chicago in early May, [only for three days]. This will be our 27th trip to Europe. Iris

Four days and counting until we leave for Spain!

We'll spend the majority of our time in Madrid and its environs as well as a couple of nights in Toledo.

Enjoy your travels, everyone!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
