Where is Billie?


Where am I? Well, now I'm home in SMA. Oh, but the places I have been. I was gone for a month. I was in Texas, Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, France, back to Texas, then home to Mexico. It is a long story that started a year ago and I think this story was one of the reasons why I chose Reservations for One for the name of the blog last March.

I have some dear friends who started planning a trip to France last September and they invited me to join them, but as their plans progressed their itinerary became more complicated. I felt overwhelmed at the time with all the details so I backed out of going with them.

Still, the idea of going on a trip in Europe intrigued me. So I started looking for something where I would not have to worry about getting from place to place. A River Cruise with AMA Waterways won...Europe's Rivers and Castles.

The tour included a few extra days in Prague and Paris but I wanted more time so I added additional days to each city. I'm so glad I did this trip. I saw a lot of places I never would have seen otherwise, I met some really nice people, and I found out that I CAN travel by myself.

I'm not going to write a town by town description of my adventure but over the next few weeks I'll share some pictures from the trip and some thoughts that came to mind as I traveled. So keep checking in. I'll be blogging again.

  1. I'm glad you're back.

    It's been years since I was in Europe and I have been thinking about a visit. I look forward to seeing your pictures.

    1. Marc, if you decide to go to Europe be prepared for the millions of tourists. I expected it in the big cities but the density of tourists was the same in the small towns along the rivers.

  6. Where are the pictures? I'll be posting one or two at a time along with a bit of blogging and also when I have them edited and processed I'll blog a link to the edited version of the trip. Trust me, you do not want to see even 1/2 of what I shot. Just give me a little time please, LOL
