I think I've figured out where to go on a mini vacation while on our 4 month sojourn. Just to refresh menories. Ron and I will be in Oxford for 3 months this fall. I wanted to take advantage of proximity to Europe for a couple of little jaunts. Prior to taking up residence in Oxford, we will have 10 days in the Loire Valley. So..where else to go. We decided early on, we would do a long weekend in Novemember in Lisbon. But where else.....
October, we will travel to Lucca and Barga, Italy. We are planning of 5-6 days in total. we have not been to either place. Both look lovely. I like the idea of 2 towns of different sizes. Barga is in the hills a little off the beaten track which I find appealing. It will probably be chillly but beautiful.
My question is should we book our tickets from LHR or GWK now or wait till we get to the UK? Both BA and Easy Jet fly into Pisa, the nearest airport. So does Ryanair but I prefer to avoit it if possible.
To find out where we will go for our final 10 days, you will have to travel to the France Forum.
