Europe - Here we come.

Hi, I just wanted to let all the Fodorites that have helped me plan our trip that We are now ready to go. All booked and set up. Thank you to the many bits of advice that I have received. We have updated our computor in the last 2 months and I have found it difficult to reply to everyone as I didnt save all my Fodorite info. However, my Husband , grand-daughter and I will be leaving Australia for Europe on the 1/04/07 for 4 weeks. We will be starting in Paris,up thru Switzerland, Germany,Austria and then to Italy. I can see why some people might think me Anal when all I have left to do is pack our bags and tell my 97 year old Mother I am going (Ouch). Please keep the info up for travellers. You have no idea how helpful you have all been. Regards Pawsha

Keep in mind: your mom doesn't have to know all the details. Mark on her calendar when you'll be back (maybe the next day, so she won't worry why you are not at home at 10 am even if the flight is scheduled to land at noon )

And give her the names of several major safe cities so she won't worry too much.

Are you going to stay in touch with her? Cell phone? Phone cards?

Yes I call Mum every second day while I'm away. I have arranged for people to call on her twice a day but when I ring she will tell me how lonely she is and how many planes have crashed throughout the world. Mum is physically and mentally VERY fit for her age and I am sure she is going to outlive all of us but I still feel guilty about going.

That is exactly what my mom would say when I would call her too, except she would add that my dog was pining for me! Guilt tripped daughters unite!!

Dear Pawsha,

Have a wonderful trip!
