For several months now I have been debating which of these two cities I should visit, as there would not be enough time to visit both. Since my busy work season in from April-October, my trip will have to be November-March. Amsterdam is said to be about six degrees cooler than Venice in these winter months, and coming from Nebraska, I have had enough cold weather and snow at home. However, my travel partner has already been to Venice and has not been to Amsterdam but since he/she isn't paying for the trip his/her suggestion only goes so far. Cairo and Luxor, Dublin, and Frankfurt has been added to the list just for them, so I figure I can take the liberty to choose the rest of the stops. So, do I want the red light district of Amsterdam or the lace and blown glass of Venice? My notes seem to have more information on Amsterdam and include a list of hotels suggested from various sites and travel writers. My stay in either city would probably be limited to two or three days at the most.
Other cities that I would like to fit into my itinerary are Dublin, Berlin, Frankfurt, Warsaw (but again, very cold in winter), Munich, Paris, Marseille, Nice, Barcelona, Lisbon, Rome, Sorrento (and Pompei), Istanbul, Cairo and Luxor, Mumbai, and St. Petersburg or Moscow (again, cold in winter). The whole shebang can't be much more than a month long, so obviously more than one of these stops will have to be written on next trip's wishlist!
Triangle just passed my 100 page test last night and I will continue reading it. Finally, the political part of the book looks to be over awhile and the stories of the girls are up front.
