Honeymoon, Babymoon, Getaway, Summer holiday, etc …
This trip had many names but what’s most important was that Fionna & I had a great time in Europe, travelling through London, Paris and Switzerland. It was my first holiday trip to Europe and our first long vacation together. To top it all, Fionna was also expecting our first baby while we travelled through the cities.
In later posts, I will furnish more details of our trip, the purpose of this post is to outline our travel plan and itinerary.
