Inspired by this thread from Shaun @ Tru6 and having never been to Europe my better half and I have booked flights:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/1022477-trip-paris.html
In April. Landing in Florence, Italy and leaving from Paris three weeks later. The purpose of this thread is to get tips and advice. Our plan is very loose, and will hopefully stay that way. We want to see some art, but mostly we just want to drink in the ambiance. We want to see what it feels like to eat at a Parisian cafe, or to grab a bottle of wine and take a snack to a piazza in Italy, or a park in Paris.
We have secured no accommodations so far. Hoping that is not a huge mistake. Perhaps we should book some places ASAP, but we had hoped to just stumble our way from Florence to Rome to Paris.
ALL suggestions, advice, ideas, musings, perceptions, stories or recommendations will be sincerely appreciated.
