Planning Begins


Planning has officially begun for the Hills Family's 2010 trip "around the world". A valid itinerary is in place, which will no doubt be rearranged and tweaked as we make the attempt to find a flight featuring the new airbus A380.... Christopher's dream come true. The fun (some of us would debate the use of the word "fun" at this point) begins on 1 May 2010. Our progress to England will include stops in Singapore (2 nights), Paris/France (1 week), Cairo/Egypt (3 nights), and finally on to London.

Several months later our return trip will include Zurich/Switzerland (2 nights), Rome/Italy (6 nights), Washington DC (5 nights), Indianapolis (8 nights), Los Angeles (2 nights) and home via Auckland, New Zealand! In between, we will be hopping across the channel to Holland and making a visit to Ireland for a walking (aka Guinness drinking) holiday.

Cairo is Catherine's choice, Italy is Christopher's. Garry's preference is to stay at home, but if he absolutely has to go, a visit to Ireland is essential. My vote went to France and anything else is a bonus. Okay, okay, visiting family is also part of the point - relax dutchies and americans!! We're coming... eventually.

Any feedback?
