Planning ahead for 2023!

[RomeoOscarXrayIndigoEcho]

Our term ends in June (Scotland) DH and I are thinking about saving our annual leave and/or taking parental leave so that we could be off for the six or seven weeks of the summer break.

We'd also have to save money too - especially if we use parental leave!

I'd like to take the train to London and then the Eurostar to Paris to spend the whole time in mainland Europe with our 2 DC.

BUT I'm not very experienced at travelling and I'm a planner. What would you do/could you do with 6 weeks in Europe.

Are there websites to plan itineraries?

How do I turn this madcap idea into an actual plan?

For rail travel around Europe, be sure to check out the "man in seat 61" website. He's a complete mine of info on the subject. As to destinations, do consider including Amsterdam - an amazing city! Happy planning!

By then then DC will be just 13 and almost 17.

I've always wanted to go interrailing!

Ooh you could go Interrailing - the interrailing website has some itineraries.

I’d try to plan in the main cities you want to see and add in some side trips to nearby beaches/places with pools to give everyone a rest.

How old are the DC?
