Don’t make this harder than it has to be :-). We were fine with England (London, Bath, cross over to Normandy), France (start in Normandy, Loire Valley, Paris) and we were going to then take a train into Barcelona, see part of Spain and fly home via Madrid (our carrier doesn’t have a direct flight from Barcelona), but then the idea of Switzerland came up instead, mostly because Switzerland just sounds neat and none of us have been there before :-). We’re leaving it up to the kids to decide. I liked Barcelona a lot; I am just concerned we’ll want more of a palate-cleanser after England / France and thought that the natural beauty of Switzerland and seeing the Alps might be interesting. I’ll go nuts if you throw Italy into the mix :-). Seriously, I don’t want to shortchange Italy; I’d rather do a separate Italy / Greece trip. H and I have been to England, France, Spain. I have been to Italy. Poor neglected kids haven’t been any of these places. Switzerland is just a new thought / entry, but what you all have said above sounds intriguing.
