Another Adventure! We'll Call this one Nana, Tita, Joyce Marie and Me!

Or maybe THESE THREE AND ME????

Maybe the best, THE KILLER AUNTS AND B

Whatever we call it, one thing is for sure, I'm sure it will prove to be the trip of a lifetime with experiences and memories that we won't ever forget.

First, a little background.  The three.....or as we lovingly call them, the Killer Aunts, are the matriarchs of our family.  My Mom, Barbara, is the oldest and the agreed upon "boss".  She has accomplished so much in her lifetime, but yet still has so much to share and offer.  Travel is not new to her, though this part of the world will be.  I feel sure she will be a source of all kinds of interesting tidbits about the history and literature of the places we will visit.  Joyce, the middle sister, could be considered the youngest after her rebirth last year......she is the ultimate survivor and her latest victory over the big C is just one of the obstacles she has overcome in her life.  It will be her first transatlantic trip. She is so positive and so upbeat....with a sense of humor that I'm sure will keep us laughing. The baby sister, Tita, will also be travelling to Europe for the first time.  She, maybe more than any of us, deserves this vacation after a long haul of hard work and little time to indulge herself in anything "just for fun".  This has been especially hard because she has such a thirst and hunger for life.  She will, I"m sure, insure that we take every opportunity to soak up the culture wherever we are.  There is no doubt that she will be the source of lots of laughter and fun on this adventure....and if history holds true, will probably even turn the eye of an admirer or two.

As their oldest niece, I've been lucky enough to spend some time travelling with these Killer Aunts.  I will be the designated driver and tour guide on this trip.

For Mom, Joyce and I, the adventure starts in Copenhagen and will pick Tita up in Berlin a couple of days later.  We will rent a car  and our adventure will be a road trip through Denmark, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Belgium, Luxemborg, and The Netherlands.  After that, we will take the chunnel to the UK and explore London for a couple of days.

We are excited, packed (admittedly probably over packed again) and ready for Europe.  I hope Europe is ready for us!  I hope you enjoy our trip as we laugh, eat, drink, dance, talk, point, giggle and probably even cry a tear or two across Europe!
