My wife, Margaret, and I have made many trips to Great Britain, often to visit her cousin near Oxford and our friends in Scotland. On our September ’10 visit, we were looking for a different experience. For many years we have had a timeshare with Diamond Resorts International, which we’ve utilized throughout the US and Europe. I noted that, besides traditional hotels and condos, they list canal boats operating from several marinas in England in their inventory of stays.
My partner, Carolyn, and I took a three-week trip to Switzerland, Bulgaria and Romania, Feb. 26-March 19, 2011, with Far West Ski Association (310/319-3757).
In spring 2011, a friend and I spent two weeks touring mainland Greece on a budget of $2,900 per person, including airfare, rental car, hotels, food and other costs. We would begin in Athens, but, because we would be there over Good Friday, we had to work around various closings.
Starting in Geneva, our small group of six took a train to Visp, then rode the Glacier Express for an hour through breathtaking Alpine valleys to Zermatt to see the Matterhorn.
