Actually it was my wife that suggested we go to Europe for our 20th anniversary, she knew I had always wanted to go, but being frugal (a polite way to say cheap) would not initiate it with out some prodding. She said we needed to do it while we were young enough to have fun and might not get the chance again, so we went.
We chose Beach's Motorcycle Adventures, highly recommended, I can’t imagine it could get better than the way they do it. Freedom and pampered at the same time. And a FULL 2 weeks, not 9 days like many of the others. First rate lodging, the best roads, support 2nd to none.
We thought this was a once in a life time thing, but loved it so much we have been back two more times!!!!
We have already told the kids that we are spending our retirement now, so they will have to take care of us when we get old, in fact my wife figures that we can spend 3 months with each, and they will be so sick of us, they will each pitch in a 3rd of the cost to send us back to the Alps for 3 months of the year (we hope)
Like I said we thought the first trip would be a once in a lifetime thing, but we got hooked…….can’t think of a better addiction. Thanks Rob!!!
All I can say is put $10 a week in a jar (one less 12 pack of Bud) and after a couple of years take the $$$ and GO!!!! I will guarantee you will never regret it.
