I'm currently waiting at Sebastian's apartment for him to get off work so he can make this booking. So if we plan this right, I will be having breakfast in France, lunch in England, and dinner in Italy on my 25th birthday. I'm pretty excited about that part.
Here is an itinerary of our 12-day trip.

- Airfare: all 3 segments together $731

When I visited England back in 2006, we took the Eurostar to Paris and it was SUCH a great experience. I don't know if it's cheaper or not but it might be worth looking into. Plus, how often in your life do you get to ride an undersea train?
ReplyDeleteI have an award for you on my blog today:

actually, we did look into it, but when we booked the 3 flight segments together, (Houston->London->Paris, Rome->Houston) it was cheaper than to book just 2 flights.
ReplyDeletebut i did go look at the prices, and noticed they weren't all that bad. I'll pass that tip to the next traveler.
:) thank you for the award! it made my day!
