Day 1- Phoenix to Palermo Sicily - On our way again.

By Ellen Outten

 

Here we go again.  A month on the road!  

This trip is what we call a Land Tour.   It’s 6 am and we’re heading to the airport.  Today (and tomorrow) will be travel days.   

It’s Phoenix to Philadelphia and then a connecting flight to London Heathrow and after a 4 hour layover, it’s on to Palermo Sicily for 13 days.

Afterwards we fly from Catalina Sicily through Rome to Cairo Egypt for two weeks.  We’ll sail down Lake Nassar and then the Nile seeing history first hand.  

From there we fly to Jordan for 4 days with the highlight being a tour of Petra.  

And then it’s home just before Thanksgiving!

Follow along as we make our way through airports and walk the cobblestone streets of Sicily and the desert in Egypt 

Update:  We left Mesa at 6 am for the ride to the airport .  The flight to Philadelphia left at 8:35 on time.   With a two hour layover in Philly we left at 6:30 pm (3:30 pm in Mesa) and arrived in London Heathrow Airport at 5:00 am (10:00 pm Mesa time).   I barely slept on the 6 hr flight to London.  Now we sit here in Heathrow’s massive waiting area waiting for our gate to be announced.   We’ll arrive in Palermo Sicily at noon making it 3 am Mesa.  It will be time to sleep!

Day. 25 - Thursday, May 22, 2025 - Amsterdam to Phoenix

By Ellen Outten
The day started at 7:30 with a ride from the hotel to the airport. NOTE to myself:  always order.rhe taxi for 1/2 hour earlier than you need it.. it showed up at about 7:35 am and traffic was heavy on the way to Schipol airport.  We had plenty of time, but regardless, it's better to be there early. The flight boarded a little late, but there's so many checks for international gates.  Immigration to leave the country, security for baggage.  We made it to the gate about an hour in advance.   I flew first class home.  There's nothing like it.  The seats are sooo much better.  And if my flight had been an evening flight, I know I would have slept.  God bless lay down seats.  I paid for the first class upgrade and what happens, Wayne gets an upgrade at the airport for free.  He didn't even know he had been upgraded until we were at the gate We arrived 25 minutes late but still had two hours to get to our new gate.  It took abou...

Parliament building, the third largest building in the world. Today, with perfect weather (high temp was about 77 degrees with a light breeze and all sun), we left the hotel at 9:00 a.m. on a tour of Bucharest. Our first stop was in the parking lot across the street from the third largest building in the world. This is their Parliament building. The first largest is the Pentagon and the second building is in Thailand. While we didn't go inside it was interesting to stand across the street and see the immenseness of this building. Interesting streetlight and the iron work Across the street from the Parliament is a pretty street with 44 water fountains running down the middle of the street. From there we went to the "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.  The outdoor museum is  devoted to Romanian village life, with hundreds of peasant farms & homes. The fence is so intricately woven  Typical entrance to a farmhouse.  The opening on the left is for people, the o...

Day 2 - Tuesday July 18 - Lake Lucerne

   Our hotel for the next two nights. We arrived at the Zurich airport at 7:45 am Tuesday which meant 10:45pm Monday in Mesa AZ.  We had been traveling since 7am. We were fed very well on the plane (9 hour flight from Chicago), both with a dinner 2 hours of boarding and then about 2 hours before landing, we were served breakfast.  The flight was uneventful which is a lovely word when it comes to air travel.  Odyssey Tours sent a driver to pick us up and drive us the one hour to Lake Lucerne.   We met a very nice couple, Patty and Joe from Kentucky that were on the same flight.   We walked around the property, which sits right on the lake, and since it was only about 9:30 am, we had to wait for our rooms.  So, what else is there to do?  Out of whack on time zones, we had a few local beers.  After all it was still 2 am AZ time!                        Snow on the mountain...
