Eurotrip 2019 When I added Lucerne and Interlaken, Switzerland, to our itinerary, I imagined sparkling snow covered peaks, blue skies and spring flowers adorning the lower slopes. After all, we were going to be there in May, so I didn’t think this would be too...

Eurotrip 2019 Our visit to Mainz, Germany, was the whole catalyst for this trip to Europe – it was our annual trek to the Bookcrossing International Anniversary Convention. Before it was announced that the 2019 convention was to be held in Mainz, I had...

We arrived into Luxembourg City on our bus from Brussels in the late afternoon. Since we were also leaving by bus, we chose to stay right near the bus station at the Ibis Styles Luxembourg Centre Gare. We are carrying little extra luggage so walking less with it is a...
