Itinerary revised again!

So, when we are in Paris on June 2nd, we realized that the French Open quarter finals will be going on soooooo, we are getting tickets for the 1 day and going to the French Open. Hoping to see some big names. It starts at 11:00 and then we will take the 19:00 train to Amboise to stay and see the chateaus. It is getting closer every day!!

Itinerary revised

We decided not to take the train from Varenna to Lyon and instead will head to Paris and rent the car from there. It is only 1 hour longer on the train because it is the TGV train (Fast!!!) and we wil be closer to the chateaus!! Au revoir for now

Prep work

Dan and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary in June 09. We are planning a trip to Europe for 31/2 weeks starting in May. Our itinerary includes: Boston to visit our daughter Amanda, Rome and Varenna on Lake Como in northern Italy. Then we will travel to Lyon France where we will rent a car for a week and travel through the Loire valley then to Mont St Michel and Normandy for the 65th anniversary of D-day on June 6th. We will return the car in Paris where we will stay for 4 days then to London and home.
Preparing for this trip has taken an enormous amount of time. It has consumed 75% of my waking hours. But I am sure that it will be worth every minute spent on it!!
