Autumn in France is colorful. No crowds, friendly people, beautiful countryside, interesting villages, magnificent cuisine and wondrous cities. Explore Lyon, immediately notice the slower, easier way of life, similar to our southern cities. This ancient historic city bisected by the rivers Rhone and Saone gives emphasis to its churches, museums,  culture and of course its gastronomical fame.  Explore Provence.  This southeastern region of France continues the easier laidback lifestyle.  With a rental car you can easily explore the cities of Les Baux, St. Remy, Arles, the Camargue, Aix-En- Provence, Marseille, Nice, St. Tropez, Cannes and so many more.  Each city and region has it's own delights.  Don't  forget Paris,  "the magical city of light."  

John & Kris, Spring 2003 in France Adventure.  We completed our May 6 to May 21, 2003 adventure in La Belle France in fantastic style.  We began in magical Paris with a day (45 minutes) train trip to Fontainebleau and its opulent Castle. Fontainebleau is a beautiful city with so much to offer Louis IV sure new how to live.  For a few days of  exciting  sightseeing, eating, savoring fine wine, shopping, enjoying the fragrances of the "city of lights" and especially the colorful people.   After three days in Paris we boarded our train from Montparnnase train station  to the Dordogne region by way of Bordeaux, St. Jean train station.  We collected our luxury Renault and drove 2 1/2 hours through gorgeous countryside, villages, rivers, farms and vineyards.  Reaching Sarlat La Caneda our seven day base in the Dordogne region.  This 1,000 year old  medieval city is totally charming with quaint shops, restaurants, parks, ramparts, churches and indescribable views.  Seven days of sailing down rivers, exploring caverns, ancient villages, limestone cliffs, limestone forts, hilltop castles, cliff top gardens, Roman ruins and Cro-Magnon sites.  Did I mention food? Duck, lamb, pork, walnuts, wine, French desserts and friendly people. We had seven days of sunshine.    We returned to Paris for four days of  touring and serious shopping.  Remember as visitors and  tourists we are allowed A VAT tax break on purchases if you spend at least $170.00 USD in one store.  We are now allowed $800.00 per person duty free.  Hooray for tourism!  We plan to return to France next May 2004 for more great fun.   

John & Kris cruise Bermuda & Philadelphia.  Sept. 29 to Oct. 7, 2003. We planned to vacation at Disney World, Orlando Florida; but we quickly changed our minds due to the exorbitant cost and the huge crowds during holiday seasons.  For a fraction of the cost we cruised for 6 nights in and around  Bermuda and toured 3 days in Philadelphia. Our good ship the "Norwegian Sea"  left the Philadelphia dock and quickly headed to the open sea. We had a great time touring historic Philadelphia where so much history was created by our forefathers: The Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Congress Hall, Carpenters Hall, Ben Franklins Post Office and the Philly Sandwich.  Hooray for the Red, White and Blue. 

John & Kris in London, England.  Dec. 26, 2003 to Jan. 2, 2004. We spent a wonderful week in and around London  to celebrate New Years in a new modern yet ancient city with all its glory. We took the train to visit Hampton Court Palace for a full day. We visited this gorgeous castle spread over many acres of wooded land that includes: Henry's Apartments, Tudor Kitchens, the Kings Apartments, the Queen's State Apartments, The Georgian Rooms, Maze, lakes and Gardens. Old Hank really lived well not to mention his wives. We rode the train to Stratford Upon Avon the birthplace of William Shakespeare. A lovely town. We enjoyed his children's homes, the Nash's House & New Place, Hall's Croft and so much more. Growing late we dined at the Edward Moon English Brasseries, very nice. We strolled back to the train station to catch the last train of the night to London. We were also the only passengers on the train. The next day we tangled with hugh crowds, ate and shopped at Harrod's. That night we attended "Anything goes" the old Cole Porter musical at the Royal Drury Lane theater the oldest in London. Great play!  Next few days we enjoyed the museums, the Thames, dining, sights and the people. We spent New Year's eve walking around Trafalgar Square with the lights, billboards, double Decker busses and the preparation for the New Year's celebration. It became very cold so we retreated to our Royal Lancaster Hotel for the African New Years Eve Party theme in the Pavement Cafe. We enjoyed Disco dancing, eating, champagne and a  light show. A super celebration. I miss my old leisure suit.  New Year's Day no American Football games in England. So we toured the Tate Modern Museum. Reminded me so much of Art 101 in College. January 2, 2004 all packed and ready to go to Heathrow airport and return home.
