We are in the throes of planning our six week visit to Europe. Travel dates August 21 - October 2, 2013. So far we have bought new collapsible walking poles, a monocular, a tilley hat, water shoes and miscellaneous items. Harold plans to travel with a carryon bag, me with a larger bag. We will travel Icelandic Air with a 5 night stop in Rejkyavic. Then on to Zurich and Meiringin for 2 weeks, Atrani on the Amalfi Coast for 2 weeks and finally a week in Paris before heading back to MA.
