European Travel Planning : A Two week Itinerary for London and France: Week ONE- London
Our two youngest children graduated high school this year! Both girls had all A's and were very successful in school. Both girls also showed amazing character and maturity as they plan for their future. We had never traveled to Europe, so we planned a graduation trip to London and Paris! We began researching a date and accommodations months ago! I would love to say that we picked the date to coincide with the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and the Anniversary of D-Day, but it was pure dumb luck! Below you will find the first week in London itinerary! (I was a bit overwhelmed for the France planning, so we used an amazing travel service called Frenchside Travel . I will do a separate post regarding the week and France and a review of our experience !) We did modify it some as we traveled, but mostly stuck to it! I planned the London end myself with help from many other bloggers out there who shared their experiences. We stayed at a flat I booked through Airbnb in the South Kensing
ALL OF OUR 4-person Selfies ! Guess Where ?
Yes, we had a good camera, Yes, nice people offered to take our pics all over Europe- which some we agreed and have great pictures! Everywhere we went, we took the "foursome" or more pleasantly known as the 4-person selfie. Take a guess where we were for these adorable SELFIES! Comment your guesses and the winner gets a London or Paris souvenir- because we have PLENTY!!!
Can my Blog make a comeback??
Reviving the Blog as the nest becomes empty... I started this blog many years ago when my baby girl was in preschool. She is all grown up now and graduated high school a few weeks ago. It does not seem possible that time has gone by so fast. We have 2 high school seniors heading out of our nest for college in the fall, the last of 7 of our combined.We will be empty-nesters. Wow! We have also been doing a good bit of traveling in the past years and I have always said I was going to start a travel blog because so much of the good information I get planning trips comes from some really helpful bloggers sharing their experiences. I have been saying this for years, however. Today starts the revival of the blog! Stay tuned to see what adventure I will choose to tell about first. I hope to review restaurants far and near, destinations and excursions. I learned this morning that my tech skills are rusty so, I have spent the first morning reminding myself how to BLOG! I also hope to use this
