After lurking on these boards for a while, absorbing lots of great ideas, I'm ready now to reach out and ask for your input. My husband and I are planning a many-years overdue trip to Europe, emphasis Austria and Switz. Trip begins mid- to late-Sept and we have 14 days in addition to a travel day on each side for leaving and returning home. We are planning to use trains to get around but are open to other options. We enjoy nature but would also like a bit of variety in this trip. Could you take a look at this itinerary and offer input and ideas? We are so grateful for any help.
