R&TAdventures This journal will document our planning and our trip to Europe that we have been waiting for - for many years. We will go for six months and travel through many countries. There will be a certain amount of planned activites but lots of room will be left for spontinaity.

Approval has now been had for our trip. I have six months leave without pay and Tony has 110 days holiday and LSL.

The next stage is to write emails to all the contacts and give them an idea of when we might visit their countries and see if it is still ok to stay with them.

We then need to refine our research and look at towns and villages of where we might like to stay. This has been the case in italy with Cinqe Terre and the toe of italy.
