The Sewing Mom

Many years ago I spent a lot of time traveling through Europe with my parents. My dad was working overseas and so we would take a couple of vacations each year visiting all sorts of places across Europe. I remember that he always rented a car to get us from the airport to wherever we were staying. My dad always traveled with a European driver’s license which is required and can be used in any European country. The roads in Europe, for the most part, are excellent, although in some towns they may be a bit more narrow than what we’re used to here in the U.S. My dad’s driving was a little scary normally, but to think of him driving on the left side of the road in several countries, including the UK was a bit stressful.

Being so far from home, we always had hotel reservations wherever we planned to go. When we travelled to Spain we stayed in Madrid, I recall it rained a lot during that trip. I would like to go back and visit Barcelona on the Mediterranean Sea. I would also like to travel back through Germany staying in hotels in Berlin near the central business and entertainment district. That would keep us all entertained.

After visiting Spain and Germany, I’d head towards France. In particular I’d look for hotels in Paris and near the Eiffel Tower, a place I’ve always wanted to see at night, all lit up. From Paris I’d end my trip by visiting hotels in London and visiting all the tourist and historical places. I have artwork of Big Ben that I look at everyday, hanging on a wall in my house. It’s dated 1979, the last time I was in London. I would love to go back, the shopping was excellent!
