My Europe trip!

the_tyrant · 04-06-13, 12:49 PM

Hello everyone! I am posting this from the Buffalo international airport, the first "leg" in my Europe trip. After today, I will disappear off the internet for 2 weeks (on a cruise)

I will be posting my experiences and pictures here in this thread, and I will be sharing some tips and tricks!

so our plan so far: fly from buffalo to fort Lauderdale, take transatlantic cruise to London, fly from London to Lisbon, pick up car at Lisbon, camp & drive around the continent for up to 3 months.

any suggestions of what to go see? I'll be in London and Lisbon first. If you know of any family friendly attractions, please share them!

PS: if I get a chance to meet any of you guys, I will buy you a drink! So if you are in London or Lisbon, please tell me!

thanks!

Have fun, be safe, and return with lots and lots of pictures and embarrasing stories.

Or better yet, lots of stories and embarrassing pictures.

Whilst in London you could visit HMS Belfast:

To expand on Jims post, in London there are lots of very good museums.

Go to Greenwich see the Cutty Sark and or maritime museum, take a river trip from Greenwich into the city and then go on the London Eye.

Have a good trip!

While in London I'd highly recommend the Imperial War Museum, its well worth a visit as is the HMS Belfast like Jim pointed out.

And the Dirty Dicks pub in the City of London for some ale (dont think southern ale is as flat as it used to be a few year ago)

Enough with London, I miss it so much

YAY, Checking in from sunny San Juan right now!

The cruise is great! I LOVE the food, and I got a chance to see some great shows (David Copperfield was very funny)

Well, I'll post some pictures either tomorrow, or when I get to London.

Sorry, no embarrassing or incriminating pictures this time, the average age on the ship is probably at least 60 years old. There isn't anyone who is willing to do crazy things with me.

I can recommend the tank museum: http://www.tankmuseum.org/visit_us

If I may ask who's in your group? Maybe I have more suggestions.
