What is the best way to experience a European vacation?

Price is no object. Well, lucky old you, then! Would a cruise be more relaxing or should I fly? What's the purpose of the vacation, to relax, or to see some of Europe? Have you no country/regional preferences? - There's no such place as Britain, or France, or Germany, as every country has interesting, different, cities and rural/"scenic" areas, all with their individual characteristics and attractions. A cruise would be relaxing for many, but not for me - the idea of being cooped up in a boat, however well-provided with facilities and entertainment, and "let out' once in a while for a quick dash round *another* seaport I didn't personally choose would be hell! Most docks are like most other docks, and from the brochures I've read you'd not have a lot of time to experience "Europe". Your alternative to a cruise sounds as if you're thinking of something uncomfortably like the stereotypical "if it's Tuesday this must be Rome" jaunt. Why not choose an interesting (for you) destination, or two, or even three, but not more - 17 days doesn't allow much "experiencing" - not too far apart from each other, and come back to different places another year if you enjoyed this trip. Use some of your unlimited funds and buy some books, choose your destinations with care, and then fly to Europe (where's that??) and drive or take the train to see your chosen bits. (btw, is Frank ess *real*? Suspect it should be "ass" (US) - or else his humour is way above me.) |
