Next Sunday I'll be sightseeing in Milan, Italy. I can hardly believe it! My sister, Lita, and I are getting ready this week for our big adventure! I am driving to Michigan to her house on Thursday so we can get organized with our packing to leave on Saturday from Detroit Airport. We fly from there to Kennedy Airport where we have a three hour layover. And from there to Milan. And there is a 6 hour time change because they are 6 hours ahead of us! We are going to be so jet lagged.
Lita and I still cannot believe we can do this. I have wanted to go to Europe for so long and now at almost 70 will have the chance! How great is that? My nephew, Lita's son Matt, teaches at the American School in Switzerland. His spring break will be for two weeks so he is going to be our tour guide. He has traveled so much in Europe and Asia that he could be a working tour guide! We will go to Milan and surrounding area, to Switzerland to see where Matt lives and teaches and the sights there. Then to Dusseldorf, Germany by Airbus. After all the sightseeing there we will travel by train to Paris and be there for five days! I can hardly wait to see Paris! Especially the Louvre. My goodness what a treat to be able to see the great Old Masters paintings! I don't know what other adventures we will have in Paris but I'm sure there will be many.
And the food! I am excited to try some of the ethnic foods, I think. Especially pastries! Real Italian, German, Swiss and French food! Matt is a real food connoisseur so I'm sure he will make sure we eat well!!
So Carol and Lita's Big Adventure will be very soon. WhooHoo!!
