Personal tour of Europe

Will your staff set up a personal tour for two that includes a several week stay at a villa in Tuscany, travel by car along the Riveria, a several week stay in central France (villa or the like) travel to Scotland with a week stay in Dublin plus a relocation cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Venice? Dave

Sshhh, Frank, there's an opportunity here. Forget those measly meeting franchise fees. So, David, how much will you pay us?

David, As Frank indicated, this Board isn't staffed by ETBD or Rick's staff. However, this is an excellent resource for planning, so there's no reason you couldn't use this HelpLine, Guidebooks and the Internet to set-up this "personal tour" on your own. The group here has an incredible wealth of travel experience, so I'm sure would be able to offer lots of suggestions to help you make the trip a reality. It's a lot of work to plan trips of the type you're describing, but many find that to be part of the fun. If you decide to try planning on your own, once you have the trip more-or-less figured out, one thing you might consider is taking a drive to Edmonds and having a personal consultation with Rick's staff to finalize the details. Good luck!

If you're looking for "luxury,' then you either need to set this up yourself or find a travel agent who specializes in this. If you're looking to cut costs, look into http://www.untours.com/ The relocation cruise might be difficult because it's only once a year.

David, you do know that Dublin is not in Scotland, right?

This reminds me of the Steven Wright joke: "A while ago, I went skiing in England. It was a rare package: two weeks in England, one night in Connecticut, two weeks in England. I said, 'Yes, I'll take it.' "
