Europe 1999 - The Internet Tour - June 17 - July 5 Most of you who read this will understand what I am saying because you know me and my rather unusual sense of humor. Those who don't know me will think that I am out of my 'freakin' mind. |

| In
celebration of our 25th. wedding anniversary, Fran and I
decided to cash in some of my Frequent Flyer miles and go to Europe for
3 weeks. We started planning in April of 1998 because it takes
that long to reserve your Frequent Flyer seats assignments. So
travelers beware - book early!
Where to go? What to see? Beats the hell out of me. Massive amounts of research was needed in order to prepare for this adventure and the Internet was going to be my main source of information. |
When
Fran and I take a vacation, we like the freedom of going
WHERE
we want - WHEN we want. Pure
hell (as defined by Andy Browne) would be to take a
European bus tour with 60 decrepit blue hairs, carrying their portable
oxygen containers and complaining about the food. Organized tours
suck.
Our goal was to visit the UK, Belgium and Germany - to see as much as we can in 3 weeks - doing it all by car, train and foot. That's the American way!! |
During
the year of research, I had the opportunity to meet many wonderful
people over the internet. Many of these people counseled me on
where to go and where NOT to go. And during this year I made many
new and long lasting friends. Several of my new
international friends offered their services as local guides in their
city. One very special family even put us up in their home for
three fantastic days.
So before going any further (this is a long story)... go to the bathroom... get a drink then...
