The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

After not traveling for 5+ years due to covid and also due to moving, changing jobs and dealing with my father and his eventual passing on I cashed in points/miles for a trip to Vienna and returning from Paris. The Paris part might change depending on other awards opening up.

We've been to Vienna previously for Christmas markets and realize March will still be cold but hopefully not crowded and cheaper than summer travel.

Open to suggestions what to see or where to go from Vienna. I see that Bratislava is a fairly short train ride away and might be worth a visit. Prague might also be worth a visit.
We might go back to Munich since we know someone who lives close by there.

Lichtenstein?

I have to admit to not being a fan of Paris but if we were to enter France from the southeast what cities would be worth visiting on our path to Paris for our outbound flight? Neither of us speak French (my wife speaks fluent Spanish and I'm useless with most languages).

Although not Europe we also plan to travel up to Vermont and any suggestions what to see there is also welcomed.

For now the Europe part is likely a 16 day trip. Right now we are both retired so we can be flexible.

Thanks
Rich
