I'm beginning to feel like I should find work in the travel industry. I spent much of the day organizing various itineraries for our trip to Europe. We begin in Budapest, take a train to Kolozsvar, Transylvania and stay there for two weeks for language school and the International Unitarian Universalist Theological Symposium. Onto Homorodszentpal where James will particpate in a UU internship through December. Meanwhile so James can focus on his work and the kids and I can focus on ours, we leave Romania for several months.
Aug-Sept is set in Paris. I just put a deposit on a fabulous apartment near the Tour Eiffel. Everything is within walking distance or along a metro line. Byron is getting excited about Paris...the DaVinci code is partially responsible for this. If it means getting my 14 year old enthusiastically into the Louvre, I'll take it. After Paris we head north to Norway to see the fjords for 3 days, to London for 5 days, Ireland for 3 and Amsterdam for 9+. From there, a long train journey to the south of Spain where we will settle for 1-2 mos near the beach.
I purchased Eurail passes for all of us to get around by train. I also bought plane tickets to many of the northern spots. The flights within Europe are a good deal. $67 (US dollars, not Euros) for a flight from London to Western Ireland for all four of us! Things are falling into place. We leave in 10 days. :)
