I have posted about a few trips I have taken and about a few trips I would like to take. Now I will post the trip to Europe that I would love to be able to take. I will probably never make this trip since I have lost my middle class status and and am approaching abject poverty but such is life and I can always dream. If you lose your dreams then in my opinion you have lost everything.
My trip would start with a relaxing drive up the east coast of the United States to Boston while enjoying local foods along the way. I would start from Baltimore where they have such wonderful crabs. A nice bowl of crab soup and a nice soft-shell crab sandwich would be a wonderful lunch as we take in the Inner Harbor and surrounding sites. A stay at a reasonably priced hotel and the next stop would be Philadelphia for lunch. Who can go to Philly and not stop at Pat’s, Geno’s or Tony Luke’s for the sandwich that makes everyone around the world think of Philadelphia. The cheesesteak!
From Philadelphia we continue north on I-95 to New York City. For dinner I would think perhaps Katz’s Deli for the behemoth pastrami sandwich or maybe Grimaldi’s for a pizza from that incredibly hot brick fired oven. I would not stay in the city itself for cost reasons but the next day we would be on our way up I-95 to Boston stopping wherever we see something interesting. Once in Boston of course we would have to eat massive amounts of seafood and chowder.
From here we would start the main part of this vacation. You can get nonstop flights from Boston to Shannon in Ireland so there is where we start.
After arriving in Shannon and a day to acclimate to the 5 hour time difference I would get a car and we would drive across Ireland to Dublin and take the ferry to Holyhead in Wales and continue on to London.I will leave off there and continue on in my next post.
