Tentative summer plans

wiseheartSooo, I went to the website of our usual travel agency to see what they have to offer for this year and what can I risk, considering my bad leg and tha fact that Mum will be in tow. The website is sorely outdated, so I'll have to get to the office in person and ask, but I found a few package holidays I'd like.
The one of them I'd like most is a 6-day-trip that will start in Paris, touch 3 of the prettiest castles along the Loire, cross Burgundy, with an emphasis on Dijon and Troyes (another town I wanted to visit badly ever since I read "Life in a Medieval Town"), continues on to the Champagne (Reims!!!) and then returns to Paris just in time to board the plane.
Of course, it has the serious disadvantage that we'd have to fly, something I'm still deadly afraid of, and I might have the rotten luck that they won't even launch this particular trip this year, but it would be a pretty one.
Another possibilites would be the trips named "Romantinc Germany" and "Magic of the Alps", as well as the one which would go to Alsace and the Black Forest.
So many great choices, so little time (and even less momeny) *sighs*. Of course, we'll have to think very hard about our health in the first time. But we try to go to pleaces where we haven't been before, especially Mum, who can never tell if she'd be able to go anywhere in the next year.

Date: 2013-03-10 02:38 pm (UTC)We always prepare ourselves for the holidays almost a year in advance: selecting the destination, finding the right trip, buying foreign currency in very small quantitioes whenever the exchange rate is good for us, putting some cash aside each month and so on. That way, it doesn't come as a shock when we actually have to pay for everything. *g*
