Tim and Anne’s Tour of London
In the Fall of 2013 we finally were able to visit a city we always wanted to see – London, England. Listed below is our trip blog and some pictures we took of London and surrounding areas. At the end of this post Anne gives her impressions of our stay and tours.
Rail & Sail from London to Amsterdam
Earlier this month we told you about our Rhine River Cruise – one of our best trips ever! When planning the trip we figured since we were paying for airfare to Europe, why not experience more than just the river cruise? We had never been to London before, and we saw on the map it wasn’t too far to get from London to Amsterdam by air or train. But then we came across a third option, shown in this video:

Oberammergau Passion Play in Germany
by Tim Larison
One interesting part of being a travel agent is that you learn about places and events you were not aware of previously. I recently had this experience when I interviewed Shannon Stitt of Collette Vacations for our website. Shannon told me about the Oberammergau Passion Play. “(This event) is truly once in a lifetime event,” said Shannon. “The play performance dates back to 1634. During the Thirty year War, the village of Oberammergau was spared the black plaque and for this reason, the villagers vowed that every ten years they would give a play to honor the live of Christ. The Performers are native Oberammergauers.”
Rick Steves talk: Tips For European Travel
Recently I attended a talk by European Travel expert Rick Steves. Rick’s popular “Europe Through the Back Door” book is one of the best selling guides to European travel. Rick is also well known for his series of programs on Public Television. This talk was of special interest to me since me and my family will be visiting Europe for the first time in May 2006! Below I will give some of the highlights of Rick’s talk.
