My trip to Europe is finally here! As I was gardening my reservations this past week, I realized just how complicated this trip really is:
6 people
2 origin cities
10 flight record locators
2 apartments
4 hotels
2 van transfers
Paris metro rides
1 high-speed train
6 Swiss Travel Passes for Swiss cog railways, gondolas, boat rides and mountain lifts
But, I am positively giddy! I haven’t been to Europe in 13 years. I am so ready!
We are packing light–just 3 small suitcases. Both of our apartments have washer/dryer.
Over the next few weeks, I’ve got a special guest post lined up from a reader who recently visited Greece and Turkey. Leana will also be filling you in on all the details of her recent European adventures.
Please follow Miles for Family on Facebook and Instagram to see some photos of my trip as we go.
Au revoir!

@HML Thanks!
Hi Nancy, how did you decide the get the Swiss pass vs the half pass for Switzerland. I’m debating whether to get the half pass or full pass since we will also be in Switzerland for a week.
Thank you.
@Huong We decided on the Swiss Travel Pass because we are a group of 6 and I didn’t want to mess with buying tickets every time we travel by train. We can just keep our pass and hop on/off. With the half fare card you have to buy tickets for every journey. The full travel pass also includes a museum pass. I hope you have a great trip!
Just fyi, with the half-price pass you can literally buy tickets on your phone at any time before or even once you’re on a train. All the ticket checkers are at least bilingual and all (for us) were friendly, helpful, and understanding!
@Betty Thanks, good to know!
We bought the Travel pass also and loved the convenience of it!
Have a wonderful trip! Sounds so awesome! Looking forward to hearing about all the details!
@Lynn Thanks!
Enjoy and have a great trip!
