My son and his wife are headed out for their first "solo" trip to Europe next week. They have been once before traveling with me.
He was talking with me today and sharing some of the trip planning efforts he had done for this trip. He has researched well, done a reasonable, well-organized itinerary, has options for activities in all destinations and seems ready to go. He told me he even used the search feature on the Rick Steves Travel forum to find out an answer to a question and had to laugh when he realized the answer in the thread that helped him was written by me. He has put useful apps on this phone and is basically ready to go.
It is a bit a proud moment for this mama who taught him about how to plan a trip to Europe. :)
