A few random thoughts on travels
I think that I probably mentioned before that I'm thinking of trying to make it to Europe sometime in June. Thus far, here's what I'm thinking:
- Fly direct to Paris
- Grab Eurail pass
- Fly back from Rome to Montreal
- Get on a flight from Montreal back hom^H^H^H to my unofficial residence.
The reason for steps 3 and 4 is that I can get a relatively cheap flights between North America and Europe on a charter that a few of my coworkers have used before. They fly direct to Paris from where I live, but they only fly from Rome to Montreal and Toronto. Even with an upgrade from a 31" seat pitch to a 36" seat pitch for a couple hundred $$$ (I figure that being over 6 feet tall I could use the extra room) - it's about $1100 for the flights. I looked at other airlines, and they were charging something like $3000 for the round trip... somehow I think that I can find a flight back from Montreal for less than $2000.

Not 100% sure yet. Would
Not 100% sure yet. Would like to end up in Switzerland, and I'd also like to see Prague (Hungary). Maybe one of Germany or the Netherlands...
Interested in going?
