The list of where we want to travel as a family is … everywhere! So when we plan a trip we try to schedule multiple locations to get the most bang for our buck so to speak. In fact, speaking of “bucks” we also plan our trips around where we find the best deals at the best time of year (whether it is the best price on airfare or a great deal on a great AirBnB). Our most recent multi city travel experience to Paris, London, and Scotland started with finding a great deal for flying to Paris. (Check out our Money Saving Tips for Travel post). Once we figured out our flight to Paris we did some research to see where we could go from there by train. Apparently all through Europe, traveling by train is a breeze! It’s pretty inexpensive too! The plan for our trip ended up as this: 3 days in Paris, 2 in London, and 4 in Scotland (staying in 2 different areas within Scotland).
The way this schedule worked out for us could not have been any better! It was perfect! We started off with Paris and London ~ fast-paced big cities with lots of walking, lots of people and sights to see, and getting around using the Metro/Tube. Then in Scotland we slowed it down a bit, rented a car, and at first stayed in a countryside cottage in the middle of nowhere but beautiful nature, and then our second location was a beach house on the coast.
What a great story, a wonderful trip for your family. And a great tezching/learning experience!!
I look forward to seeing more pi tires, and reading about your adventures.
