Itinerary

Getting documentation squared away this week.  Typed up the itinerary to view at a glance.  
Photo of Via dell'Amore The Cinque Terra, Italy.  Photo taken August 2008.  A very special place to visit. We took the train from Cavi (Lavagna) to La Spezia.  We were able to get on a boat tour connecting the different towns of Portovenere, Monterosso, Vernazza, Manarola, Riomaggiore.  Via Dell 'Amore is between Riomaggiore and Manarola.  In Manarola we caught the train and went for dinner in Santa Margherita.  Hope to return here some day.

Bon Voyage soon :-)

Last few weeks before we leave for France and Spain


Bonjour!  Hola!
e-Tickets have arrived, sent in our Speed Pass for the motorhome, booked a tour of Alhambra.  The itinerary is planned.  After arriving in Paris we taxi to South Paris to pick up the motorhome and then drive to the Loire Valley close to the town of Blois where we camp for two nights.  We will travel one day and then stay over two nights except in Barcelona and Madrid areas where we plan to stay three nights.

Looking forward to the Andalucia area that is pictured above as we hope to have a short visit with friends staying close of Marchena, Spain, and ride our bikes along Spain's vias verdes (greenways) which are one of Andalucia's lesser known rural attractions.

I hope to post some photos and news as we travel ... just have to see how internet service works over there and if I am "techie" enough to blog. 

Au revoir!  Adios!
