Our last day has arrived and it does seem like we have been here for more than just two weeks. I guess the constant travel from city to city has made this seem longer but it has been enjoyable but I will be glad to get back to Dallas. Today we headed out to Greenwich with plans to see the Cutty Sark (and yes the scotch Cutty Sark is named after this famous sailing ship), the National Maritime Museum, and maybe the Royal Observatory. We decided to take the Thames...

Today we left Paris after another wonderful stay but much shorter than last time. We caught an early Eurostar to London so we were out of our hotel by 8 and on our way. Getting on the Eurostar is a bit hectic because you have to go through UK Passport control before boarding the train. Once we got on, everything was smooth and we got to London on time. Robyn had selected the Chesterfield Mayfair as the hotel we would stay at, which is a sister hotel of the Rubens...

Let me say first that the events planned for today were not exactly high on my agenda. The first was to visit Saint-Chapelle which is the 13th century cathedral with beautiful stained glass windows. Two years ago we attempted to see the cathedral but failed both times--the first time the line was too long for us to get through, the second time it was closed. So I was not interested in going to see this cathedral. The second planned activity was to see the Paris O...

Today's plans are to go the Louvre, Montmartre for lunch, and then the Eiffel Tower for a tour. We wanted to keep to a tight schedule because Robyn did not want to be late getting to the Eiffel Tower since this was a tour group and she was unsure how we would meet up. So after breakfast we headed to the Louvre. Two years ago we primarily went through the Denon wing to see the paintings specifically the Mona Lisa, and we went briefly into the Sully wing to see the...

Another day in Europe and another travel day. I feel like we have had as many travel days as days staying overnight. Today was an Air France flight from Munich to Paris Charles De Gaulle which is about an hour and ten minute flight. An additional reason for staying at the Eden Wolf Hotel in Munich is it is across the street from where the Luftansa airport bus departs. We got through security at the Munich airport without incident this time since Robyn remembered ...
