our 2018 bespoke journey across six nations, kicking off in handsome Amsterdam,

Travel along with
J.Christina by plane, tram, on foot, by private transport, and European river cruise ship, all-the-while discovering postcard perfect
destinations that will linger in your memory forever.
As our adventures
unfold, wing on with us, as we hopscotch down to Croatia's Dalmatian
Coast, including stops in
Montenegro and Slovenia where we will explore the length of this majestic
Adriatic Sea coastline.

Following the
mid-segment of this sojourn as we overland along the Pearl of the Adriatic,
traveling south to north, where we will cross the finish line into Venice,
Italy. It's a quick stop to regroup, reminisce about Croatia's sights and
sounds, while admiring the glories of Venetian architecture while strolling
along the Grand Canal. Sadly, we will say arrivederci to Venice all too
soon - pushing-on, making our segue on to Bordeaux, France.
Join the finale! Come on
along and explore with J.Christina in Bordeaux, France, a city with
a 2000-year-old history, often referred to as the "Port of the
Moon." We will celebrate our birthdays and toast our 25th wedding
anniversary, while plying the waters of the Dordogne and Garonne rivers,
onboard a European river ship.
Arm-in-arm let's complete
this final bookend of our month-long journey immersing ourselves in southwest
France - one ancient wine village at-a-time. Here we will stroll through
picturesque hamlets, admire beautiful medieval villages, taste the terroir, and
lunch in historic châteaux. Come on along, travel vicariously from the luxury
of your armchair to places some only glimpse on a postcard.
Together we will create,
capture and record countless shareable moments to last a
lifetime.
