European Train Ride Week

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

Lets see if I can get it right this time.

Sorry this is so late. Ended up in the hospital this afternoon. This will be a low key week because I don't have it in me for a lot of activities at the moment.



Welcome to The Ebbsfleet International Railway Station located to the east of London. From here, you will be catching the Eurostar train to Paris. Make sure you have your Eurail train pass handy. This is the pass that will allow you to travel throughout europe. If you lose this, you may have to buy a new ticket or remain where you are while the rest of us go on.


Feel free to have a look around the station. The train will be here shortly. As soon as it arrives, you can find your seat and then wander around and get to know your fellow travelers.

Day 2: Welcome to Paris. Feel free to wander around and enjoy the sites.

Check out these attractions: Attractions

If you just want to find a hotel, here are recommendations: Hotels

Day 3: Welcome to Amsterdam. There are sites to see for everyone. Check out the canals. Eat in one of the many fine restaurants. Or if you are into more risqué fun, check out the Red Light District. Here.

We'll be heading for Berlin in the morning.

Day 5:
Today we've arrived in Venice. Venice is really a collection of small islands connected by canals. Venice is the perfect city for couples. If you want to stay around, you can catch the Venice Carnival that begins the end of January. For now, you can take a romantic or relaxing Gondola ride. You can take a tour of the city by boat. You can crash in one of the many luxury hotels. There are museums, amazing architecture, or opera houses. If nightlife is your thing, there are jazz clubs, coffee houses, and pubs to enjoy.

Day 7: And our trip this week ends in Budapest. Stay as long as you like and enjoy your trip home.

I could pretend not to know again, if you like?

No, no. I don't mind people knowing, I just feel strange when I tell people. Like I'm... bragging, or something. Which is probably ridiculous.

It's certainly worth being proud of. But you don't seem to be the bragging type; I wouldn't worry.

I am proud, ma'am. Uh, Janet. I'm proud every day of getting to serve my country.

And we're glad to have you.

*blushes and shakes his head*

I don't do anything that's above and beyond what I think anyone who serves should. And you, you're a doctor on top of it. Gosh, that just sort of dwarfs what I do. I just do it in Stars and Stripes.

Thank you. I think you're capable of a bit more than the rest of us, though. And it's admirable to use a gift like that to serve others.

*blushes*

It's just what I do. But thank you... it's always good to hear that from someone who understands.

Hey, um. I don't want to sound creepy, but if you find yourself in Colorado Springs, you're welcome to a home-cooked dinner.

*laughs warmly*

Creepy? I think it's very generous, actually. Then again, I come from what my friends like to refer to as a "more wholesome time".

-Steve

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

*nods* That's right. Now the manners make sense, too.

*laughs*

I'm a pretty easy guy to figure out, once you know my story.

Well, for ten minutes there you were charmingly mysterious.
