16 Days - On to Venice for 3 days followed by a 8 day cruise through the Greek Islands; Santorini, Rhodes, Mykonos with a stop in Dubrovnik on the return to Venice. Then an additional 2 days in Venice after cruise. Cannot wait to get there, have not been to Venice and I will get to see and experience it as it should be - a wonderful woman who I love at my side.

Leaving on March 31st for Paris and not returning to California till May 1st. The countdown is at 24 days now. Can't wait!!! My wife and I love Paris but have never had nearly enogh time there. This time we are renting an apartment in Paris and spending an entire month there. We will be taking French classes in the mornings from 9am till 1pm, and then spending the rest of the day sightseeing and doing daytrips. We also have a trip planned over the long Easter weekend down south to the Cote D'Azur and Provence. It will be difficult to stay focused on work these next 3 weeks duing the remaining countdown!

Middle of July, Princess Cruise, Eastern Carribean. A cousin cruise on my husband's side. West coast and East coast families, adults and children. Not what I wanted to do, but I was outvoted. I have never been on a cruise before, so it will be an experience. Anyone ever go on a Carribean Princess cruise before?

Leaving Thurs 3/9 for Italy, which includes 6 nights in Pienza at Albergo Rutiliano thanks to recommendations on this website and slowtrav. Sounds like what we wanted, walking distance to but not in the town, in the middle of Southern Tuscany, price is right. Since we're going in March, we're hoping to see few crowds and little rain! Grazie for your help and suggestions.

Two weeks from today I leave for Italy, my 4th trip there. I'll meet my daughter, who has been studying in Rome for the semester, and after a few days in Rome we'll go to Tuscany, Cinque Terre, Venice, and then return to Rome. I'm very excited! I just have to do the dreaded packing, including her spring clothes, which she couldn't fit in her bags in January.

I should have added, "but no matter where I travel, my next trip to Italy is always somewhere in the back of my mind".

We leave in 10 days for Italy - WOO-HOO!!! It is my 4th trip to Italy but it may turn out to be my all time favorite -- we will be welcoming my son home from Afghanistan (his is stationed out of Vicenza) and he arrives there the day after we do. I am so glad he is not stationed out of Ft. Hood or a base in the U.S. Not only do I get to hug his neck, but we get to visit our favorite country.

61 days until I hit the soft sands of the BVI for 10 days...and after this week, those 61 days can't pass fast enough!

Got tickets, hotels, bikinis, books, and bug spray for this, my 6th trip April 2004. And the thing I most look forward to doing is, first and foremost, absolutely nothing.

Oklahoma_Traveler, travel safe, enjoy Italia and please thank your son for his service on behalf of our country!

TexasAggie Mar 10th, 2006 02:12 PM

We leave April 29th for 13 nights in Greece. This will be our first visit to the country and we can't wait!

Hi ira,
I am planning a very similar itinerary for a family trip in June 2007. We shall have to compare notes next summer after our respective trips

murphy89 Mar 10th, 2006 02:49 PM

TexasAggie - I hope you do a trip report! I leave for Greece in 17 days and it would be great to compare experiences.

Have fun!
