We’ve talked about visiting London and Paris for years. But we always decided to vacation somewhere closer – like Bermuda, Caribbean, Orlando or even, Southern California. Given the current political climate in the United States of America, we have decided to put a pause on travel to the U.S.A. So, what better time to make a dent in our family plan to visit every Disney castle? And so we have decided to go to London and Paris.
There are three of us – me (41), DH (41) and DD (14). The kid is in high school now. We want to minimize the amount of school she misses so we’ve decided to go to Europe for two weeks in March. This way she’ll only miss one week of school because of March Break. This isn’t a big deal since we are in Canada and she is getting A’s in all her subjects.
I have booked our airline travel and the Eurostar. I have also booked two nights at the Disneyland hotel. This is happening people!
Here is the plan:
That’s all I have confirmed at the moment.
I’m working on planning out the rest of the schedule. I want to find a balance so that we don’t come back shattered. Here’s our current list of things we want to do:
Paris
London
