Vacation looming

With less than 2 weeks until vacation the plans are firming up.  We leave on May 2, arriving in Amsterdam on Sunday May 3.  We will spend 5 nights in Amsterdam and then take the train to Paris. Yes PARIS! I am so excited to spend my birthday in the city of light. We will move on to Normandy on Tuesday May 12. The plan is to visit the D-day areas and also take a day trip to the abbey Mont St Michelle.  Then we will drive to the town of Lille, France, drop the rental car and resume train travel to Bruges, Belgium. Bruges to Brussels and then back to Amsterdam for the flight back home.  A little planning but there are so many things to see and do it is almost overwhelming.  I have already decided that a return trip will be in order.  Watch for daily pictures and updates.
