Europe 2026

We will both be retired as of the fall of 2026 and will be heading to Europe for several months to celebrate. We had initially booked passage on the Queen Mary; however, since it departs from New York, we will now be flying directly to the UK from Toronto due to the political situation currently unfolding in the United States.

We have both travelled extensively in Europe before, though separately. The main purpose of this trip is to check off all the items on our individual bucket lists that we haven’t yet experienced.

The exact details of the trip will remain somewhat open-ended, even after it begins. Once in Europe, we’ll have a few firm dates scheduled; however, we want to keep our plans flexible to make the most of every opportunity.

This site will serve as our platform for sharing this exciting adventure. It will include a trip journal with blogs, pictures, and videos — so keep checking back as we’ll be adding new content regularly.

We look forward to sharing this adventure with you
