Andrew, thank you for sharing with us. Somehow seeing pictures seems to make the time until next summer go a little faster. I guess i've never thought of doing Europe by ship...
We went when I was 12 & did the "if this is Tuesday, we must be in Belgium" tour for 3 weeks (Amsterdam, Paris, Nice, Florance, Rome, Pisa, Venice, Munich, Zurich, Copenhagen, London). I think the longest we were anywhere was Venice (3 days). It was good to get the exposure, but I felt rushed through each city. I think if I do it again, I'd like to do several trips & spend a little more time in each place.
One of the things on my list is to rent a canal boat & boat through England (of course, there are a lot of other things on that list).
For those who sent well wishes, thank you. My interview went well, and I have a second interview scheduled for next Wednesday - I'm just not sure that this is the place to jump ship for. It would be almost the same salary as I'm making now, but much more inconvenient to get to & expensive to park or take public transit... Still thinking about it, but I do have limits.
We knew several of the stops were not stroller friendly..... And she is way too small do all of that walking! LOL!

So tempting though.
