n Reykjavik instead of a three-hour one on our way to Germany. From our several cruises we have taken, we have adapted the style of quick visits to places to get a feel of them to decide if we want to come back for longer stays. From our past travel successes, we found air packages inside Europe where we visited Venice, Italy, then Zurich, Switzerland and spent a night in Paris for the same price as a round-trip ticket would cost, and then in Australia a few years back where Qantas Airlines offered the same price for a ticket from LA to Sydney, then to Adelaide and on to Brisbane and back to LA, as it cost for just a round-trip from LA to Sydney and back. This LonLisBar package we set up through Orbitz.com using their "multiple destinations" search engine. We got flights from Atlanta to London, then London to Lisbon, then Lisbon to Barcelona, then Barcelona back to Atlanta for just a bit more than it would have cost for just a round-trip to London and back.We were very fortunate to dodge an amazing amount of unseasonable weather both here in Tennessee where we got a very rare white Christmas (5 inches of beautiful slushy snow - photo above) and in our first destination, London, England, which had been besieged by even rarer ice and snow the previous week. So much so, in fact, that it basically shut down busy Heathrow Airport for three days before Christmas causing a huge amount of flight cancellations and stranding thousands of fliers. All our flights were booked on British Air and other than a slight delay on take-off at Atlanta, we had no problems with any of our flights due to weather the entire trip. The roads were in good shape thanks to the temps hovering around freezing and we had a nice drive to Atlanta where our friend, Terry, was kind enough to park our car at his place and take us to the airport. The flight "across the pond" was pleasant and since it was overnight, we were able to sleep fairly well thanks to our two-seat-only row in the back of the plane.
Following is a day-to-day account of the trip.
