Our friends Linda and Roger did that a while back. Flew from home to England to their best friends home, then the 4 of them drove all over and ended up in Rome. L & R flew home from there and friends continued the adventure.

Guess I better see about loading foreign maps in the GPS. We'll also have to travel very light. Not sure we can get our bags and your long legs in a smartcar.

Porsche sounds better to me.

Has anyone ridden the Bernina Express? I have got to try that E-ticket ride.

[beachcat]

Has anyone done the Alpine Magic trip in May? I am looking at this trip for sure.

What do you think of "Once Upon a Fairytale" followed by "Alpine Magic" then 4 days in London? Can't take it with me.

How could it be bad?

Moving the Master Plan to the top of the list. My neighbors just completed a Grand Circle River Cruise from Vienna to Amsterdam. Great pictures. If ABD adds the Imperial Cities tour back to the European tours, I am in. Time for another ABD.

I'm "in" too. Is that your prediction for the new itinerary, or could it be JUST Austria?

The area is so close( like New England )I would imagine that ABD could do multiple countries in a trip. Highway and rail systems are pretty efficent for travel over there.And because of the EU travel between countries is seamless.

I am relatively new to ABD, eagerly awaiting my first ABD trip to Scotland this August. But in anticipation of becoming addicted (or at least dividing my addiction between DCL, where I am already certifiable, and ABD, LOL), I am eagerly awaiting the 2014 announcement. What did the Imperial Cities trip include?

Thanks!

Imperial Cities which became Storybook Kingdoms in 2009 and was discontinued in 2010 included Vienna, Saltzburg and Prague. I could do that tour in combination with the Germany tour.

Hey Beachcat,

That area of the world appeals to us for sure, but must be adults only.
Keep your eyes and ears open.
