Adventure Update

The 2011 trip now has a new name!  ‘The Great European Train Adventure!’  This is the plan so far - -

Sydney – London – Amsterdam – Berlin – Prague – Venice – Florence – Rome – Paris – London – Sydney.  Of course don’t forget to substitute Portland for Sydney for K & T as we are meeting up in London.  Sounds exciting doesn’t it?  Once the Christmas rush is over then the real planning can begin.  We already have a few accommodation places in mind so it will be all systems go come January!

I already have my plane tickets so that’s a start. Qantas to Sydney – Melbourne – stop off in Hong Kong to re-fuel then on to Heathrow. Only available schedule on Frequent Flyers but that’s OK. Coming back couldn’t get a straight through Qantas flight so had to go for British Airways.

Another adventure on the books!

Series 3 - 2011 is now in the preliminary planning stages.  This one is to be called ‘The Great Gastronomical Adventures of Europe by Rail’.

Stay tuned for updates on the how, why and where the ‘Travelling Trio’ (daughter Kylie, son-in-law Tyler and me) are going to actually accomplish everything we plan.  Seems like these adventures grow into a major production but that’s the fun of it.
