Hello y’all!
My mother and I are looking to spend 12-14 days in Europe either next May or September (we want to miss some crowds, but have good weather).
Right now we are considering 5-6 days in England, with London as our base (maybe a day trip to Oxford or Dover?). Then taking the EuroStar to Paris for 1-2 days (we don’t have much interest in seeing much more there than a quick “top hits” tour and enjoying a nice meal). Followed by a final 3-4 days in Switzerland most likely via train.
I live in Dallas and we plan on flying out of DFW with a direct flight to London and returning with a flight out of Zurich.
Any advice? Are we trying to do too much? My mother is almost 70 and wants to do one final “big trip” before she thinks she’ll be “too old” for anything else. Neither of us has any physical limitations, but we are not very interested in hiking, much more into historical sites and local culture. My work gives ample vacation time, but typically limits individual vacation to 12-14 days each so that’s why the time limit.
