I cannot even open the other thread again. It will make my own head hurt. Cannot imagine what it will do to you all whom have faithfully, frightfully followed my own personal saga.

I decided to take a lot of the advice.

I am now:
Sept. 26- London
Sept 27, 28, 29, 30 Brugge
Oct 1, 2, 3, 4 Haarlem -
flight to Florence on Oct 4
Oct 4 - 18 Florence
Oct 18 -23 Venice train to Salzburg
Oct 24- Oct 28 Salzburg - flight to London
Oct 28 - Nov 4 London
November 4 - home

Thank you one and all for the paitence, help, support, love, tough love LOL you have shown.

I have accomadations for most of the trip.

Figuring out Venice and Salzburg still. I have to work through reward points etc.

I hope this looks better.

Wow---what a beautiful itinerary! =D>

Doesn't that feel good?!

YIPPPEEE JeaneeB likes it!! She likes it!!!!

Hey, we've all been there.

You've now been through the most stressful part---where you're determined to <i>make</i> it work and get in every little thing you ever wanted to see/do. It's sooooo hard to admit defeat and wrestle that itinerary to the ground.

Have fun with the rest of the planning. Is dd excited?

dd is excited. She is of course eleven so not really clear on how amazing this really is.

She called the Venice actually. I went to her with a few different feasible options and she wanted to go to Venice.

Dawn: I think you did a great job of editing your itinerary. Less is definitely more. Have a great time!

I agree with all the comments above. I feel like this itinerary allows room to breathe.

Yippeee!!! I am very happy.

I have to nail down the accomadations in a few places - but I do feel better with this one.

Thank you one and all again.
