we've been planning this trip for quite awhile now, and i'm thankful that it worked out to be pretty perfect timing for a babymoon. i still can't believe it's really happening, so it will be a shock when we actually get on the plane to paris tomorrow.
our plans:
- fly to paris tomorrow! arrive early saturday morning
- while in paris, my main goal is to both eat and walk a lot. hoping they will balance each other out :)
- our first day there, we're going to take advantage of a pre-reserved hop-on/off bus tour that will take us to all of the major sights (and tell us what they are in english via headsets)
- on our 2nd night, we're having dinner at the eiffel tower. can't wait!
- take a train from paris to london
- we reserved another hop-on/off bus for london that will show us all of the sights without traipsing all over town on foot
- i'm sure we'll try to find some sort of soccer (excuse me, football) activity for michael to see while in town
- obviously we'll have some fish n chips and work on our accents
- fly from london to venice
- while in venice, i just want to watch the water, take a gondola ride, and have some gelato.
- take a train from venice to rome
- we have a pre-reserved "skip the line" pass to see the vatican, sistine chapel, raphael's rooms, etc. which will be SO cool. i have to remember to not wear a tank top that day so i don't have to wear one of those weird disposable capes.
- i'm sure we'll try to get over to see the coliseum and the pantheon
- i'd like to find some awesome pizza, and of course, more gelato
our beautiful hotels that i've heard so much about and can't wait to see!
we planned this trip using american express travel, which was wonderful! they plan all of my work trips and are so helpful with everything. i highly recommend them if you're an american express member!
also, big shout-out to my parents for keeping our puppy babies the whole time we're gone. they got haircuts yesterday in preparation for their trip to the grandparents' house and they look SO CUTE! i'm going to miss them so much!
needless to say, there won't be much activity on the blog for the next 10-11 days, but i will be sure to post a big update when we get back. ellie has already been to japan, taiwan, and korea, and now she's making the trip to europe! busy lady. :)
