Last few days of adventure planning

Thanks to Iris and Neil for the great going away party last Thursday. The theme wines were particularly excellent - espicailly Spain! Can't wait to get there to taste more! Thanks to everyone else who has been helping us to ready for this trip - Becky and Colin for doing their stuff, Sue and Steve for offering to feed us as we stop stocking the fridge, Bob for being our house manager, and the Men of Kensington for buying me a couple of beers at the pub last night.

We are leaving Calgary on Tuesday Feb 27th, flying to London. In early March, we will be in SW France - Carcassonne and area - then we will move on the Barcelona and Valencia. In early April we will be in Tuscany, and will make our way to Salerno and Pompei. We fly from Rome to the Greek island of Kos in mid-April, and will be sailing back to athens on a chartered Lagoon 440 cat with our pals Lynn Brett, Meagan and Kate. We'll then be touring southern Greece, and fly from Athens to Milan in early May. We then are heading North to Courmayeur and take the gondola to France, arrving in Chamonix. We will be in Paris May 15-22, and then in Normandy. We fly from Nantes to Dublin May 30th and will have three weeks to visit with Deirdre's many Aunts, Uncles and cousins. June 32rd we are flying to Aberdeen and will be touring northern Scotland, including the western islands of Jura and Iona. We hope to visit the Isle of Mann, and will head back to Wales and to London in late July. If all this goes according to plan, we will be at Heathrow for our return flight to Calgary on August 1st, just in time for some group camping in Kananaskis?

Those wishing to make contact during the trip can do so through comments on this blog, or by sending e-mail to keithadventure@hotmail.com
