Paris end of May and beginning June. Quick trip down to meet wife’s extended family in Macon and do some wine related tourism. Really looking forward to this one.

Greece


Where in Greece are you going? We are going to Corfu in June and are headed over to Sarande, Albania for part of the trip.

Take her to a play at Shakespeare's Globe. Its a replica of the original and right on the Thames near Tate Modern. Fun experience.

We are taking the family to Southern Spain for ten days in July, with a 3 day stop in Sardinia right before for the wife and I. A bit concerned about the heat in Spain but I figure it can't be worse than NOLA.

We will be in Corfu for two nights but we always leave out of Corfu for a smaller island for a week.

Corfu isn’t my favorite, but it’s a great jumping off point to do things like getting to albania like you said.

Cliche but it’s such a completely different heat. Oppressive in both areas but whereas in New Orleans you can always duck into an a/c spot, don’t always have that luxury in Spain. The break comes when the sun begins to set. You’ll be fine tho just take advantage of siesta hours.

Me and the missus have:

- Copenhagen, this weekend - sitting on Schiphol tarmac to fly that way now. While it’s not officially summer Amsterdam has been sunny and in the upper 70s-80s all week so it has begun here.
- mid-May, Greece for 10 days - Corfu & Paxos
- early June, Veneto region of Northern Italy - Venice, Vicenza Verona and Lake Garda for 10 days
- late June or early July - Slovenia - Ljbujana and Lake Bled, this trip still TBC and we might add on Rovinj, Croatia and/or Trieste, Italy (probably also 10ish days)
- mid-September thru early October Japan - Tokyo, Azu Islands, Miyazaki prefecture and Nikko (2 weeks)
- Depending on what we do with the still to be booked Slovenia trip, I/we might try to sneak one more cheeky trip in there as well.

Lake Garda is absolutely stunning. Hell of a set list there, enjoy.

Nothing too exciting.

Going to Eureka Springs the first week in June to meet up with my mom’s side of the family and celebrate my uncle’s 80th birthday. Driving to Memphis and spend the night, then to ES. From ES, through Branson to Paducah KY and then home. Keeping the driving to 6 hours a day max to not get too irritable. Checking off states for my son to visit.
