Thanks to the IL's generous air miles donation, our honeymoon flights have officially been booked! DH and I will arrive in London on 12/20 and depart from Barcelona on 1/5. We roughed out an itinerary but would love to get feedback/suggestions from knotties. The only things set in stone are our flight dates, attending a West Ham match at 3PM on 12/20 and spending NYE in Monte Carlo.
We're not planning on spending much time in London as we've both been there but DH couldn't resist a chance to see his favorite Premier League team. We've also both been to Paris, but DH was quite young and I didn't get to see Versailles.
12/20 6:30am arrive in London; 3PM West Ham match
12/21 late afternoon- depart for Paris (Louvre, walk down Champs Elysee to Arc de Triomphe, day trip to Versailles, Musee d'Orsay, Eiffel Tower)
12/26- depart for Geneva- (Palais des Nations, Jet d'Eau, quartier des grottes)
12/28- depart for Nice/southern France (Colline du Chateau, Musee Chagall, Musee Matisse, Cliff Walk, day trip to Cannes, spend NYE/NYD in Monte Carlo)
1/2- depart for Barcelona (Las Ramblas, Temple of Augustus, La Sagrada Familia)
1/5- 11:30am flight to US
I would like to spend another day in Barcelona, so I'm seeing if I can convince DH to travel on 1/1. But it's the longest travel time (approximately nine hours and three/four different trains) and I don't know that he would be willing to do that after a late, and presumably drunken, New Year's.
We also keep going back and forth on whether to include Geneva. We would both love to go there and it would be new territory for us, but we could spend 2 extra days in and around Nice if we skip it. I'm torn on that one.
Thanks for any and all advice!
