Hi all!
I’m just wondering if any of my well traveled fellow Redbubblers can help me out with some suggestions. I have to upcoming trips and I need some planning help.
The first one, I will be in Redwood City, CA from the 3rd to the 10th of August. My husband is going there for work so I will have the days free for some shooting and sightseeing. I will probably have access to a car but I’m not 100% sure of that yet. Also from Friday to Sunday, the hubby and I would like to take a road trip (I’m thinking Big Sur) and need some suggestions on where to stay and what to see. Any and all thoughts would be welcome.
The second trip is not until October and will include myself, hubby and my parents who are coming to visit us here in Belgium. We will take two weeks to travel. We will go from Brussels to the Loire valley for a couple of days for some castle spotting, then to Pau to our favorite B&B. From there we would like to explore Spain for a couple of days (avoiding big cities if possible), then to Valencia where we will catch a flight to Malta. We will be in Malta for 5 days and I’d love some suggestions if you have any. Then back to Valencia to pick up the car and drive back to Belgium, possible with a stop in the Champagne Region on the way.
Whew, I’m tired just thinking about it but I can’t wait. So if you’ve been to any of these places I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thanks everyone!

Hi Alison,
Well you have lovely things to see and do this year :)
I have been to the Loire Valley and a castle I can remember which was beautiful and not to be missed is Chambord. So beautiful !
For the other areas I cannot help you unfortunately.
I wish you all the fun and enjoyment but I can imagine that you would be tired of thinking how to organise this all. Make a good plan :)
Succes !
Sylvia

Thanks Sylvia! Chambord is definitely on my short list… I can’t believe how many castles there are to choose from!!
I always end up the ‘travel planner’ when people come to visit and honestly it’s something that I enjoy but it’s more stressful when you are responsible for everyone’s fun time :)

Thanks so much Nat! I will go anywhere, anytime and be happy, as long as I am traveling. My family is pretty easy-going too, so I’m sure whatever we decide on will be fantastic :)
