Plannign a Trip For Another Friend

So now another friend of mine is going to go traveling through West USA this summer, so it is really cool (this is defiantly one of my favorite areas) so i was giving her some tips on where to go and what do to and stuff like that, but nothing is final yet (dates, or length of trip) - hopefully she will be able to do all we planned

anyway, i will update, this is really fun to know some areas so good where you can just talk about it over lunch without any info or internet or a book...

Travel Daily Tips - Cool New Site

Just wanted to tell you about a new blog which will feature a short traveling tip everyday (as the name says)
visit the Traveldailytip.com
Hopefully this will grow into a major tips source for travelers.

Planning a trip for a friend

I always say that planning is almost as fun as actually travel, so now, i am just back from our trip and a friend requested me to help her plan a trip for her and her daughter, it will be in June or in September (I told her not to go during the summer vacation..it is crazy) and it will be for one week or 2 weeks- she doesn't know yet.

anyway, i have all kind of suggestions for one week, but if she will be able to go on a 2 weeks trip, i just know I will have to send them to the Canadian Rockies - this is by far one of the best locations, and June (or even September) will be just perfect...dont you think?

We are Back

We are back, the tip was amazing
the weather was great (like 19-23 C all days) and sunshine and blue sky all over the place, we visited many snowy mountains and frozen lakes (and regular lakes as well) and it was great, the only problem is that Italian food is soooo good, we got really fat now - LOL

Maybe later I will upload some pics, I am too tired now

Weather Junky

ok so since we still dont know what would be the smart way to do our trip (3 days to go) we are following the weather sites like crazy, we can do the following:
italy first then croatia then slovenia then swiss
or
croatia first then slovenia then italy and swiss
or
swiss first then italy then slovenia and then croatia

the logic thing is to go to croatia first then slvania and then italy and swiss - then italy and swiss parts are mainly high mountains kind of rides - but we will see according to weather and mainly rain.....will update probably a day before we leave

hope to have great days :-)

WooHoo - trip is final and car as well

We finally got our trip plan ready - basically it will be something like - landing in Milan - driving to Croatia (platvice park) from there 3 days at bled, bohini lake and triglav park - after that we will visit the dolmites and Venice and after that 3-4 days in Switzerland (center area) - we will visit titlis mountain and the Trambelbach Waterfalls and the close area.

Today we finally made the phone call we postponed for so long and reserved a car for us (it is sooo fucked up that when you get a car in Italy or wherever in Europe it is usually some small crap and when you reserve like the cheapest car in Germany it usually a Mercedes - unreal.

anyway, the order of places will be decided by weather so i guess 2 days or so before our flight we will decide it

Anyway - One week to go and we are out of here.

Now its Final

we have paid for our airfare tickets this morning so now it is final ,we will be flying on April 8 and we will be back home at April 20, we will be traveling as i said in the last post, through northern Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. we are really happy about this trip since we are finally using our frequent flayers miles which we thought we are going to lose, so saved a few bucks there...

now we need to rent a car which is turned out to be not that easy since when you rent a car in Italy not all companies allow traveling to Slovenia or Croatia, we found out Avis is allowing it so i guess we will go with that (we also have a member card with Avis so it will be nice to get the upgrade and so on.
