Often it feels like there are 3 of us on this trip. Even before we boarded the airplane, Josh was spending a lot of time with Rick. In planning our honeymoon, Josh seemed to care more about what Rick thought/advised than what I thought or even his parents (who are travel agents!) thought. We have been abroad for a little over a month and even still Josh cannot spent a single day without Rick. Here is a typical scenario:
Jen: What should we do today?
Josh: Let me see what Rick thinks.
Jen: Where do you want to get gelato?
Josh: Lets go to Ricks favorite gelato place.
Jen: What time does our train leave.
Josh: Hold on a minute, let me see what Rick says.
Sometimes at night when I am tired and want to go to bed, Josh tells me he is not ready for bed yet because he wants to spend even more quality time with Rick. I mean, come on, this is our honeymoon!!
And the craziest thing is, I have seen this all over, in Venice, Florence, Siena, Milan, Paris...everyone consulting Rick Steves. http://www.ricksteves.com/
As I look back over the past month, I am grateful Rick has been with us. His excellent travel advice (from where to stay, where to eat, to which museums are most worthwhile) has only made our experience even memorable! The next time you visit Europe, bring Rick, you will be so glad you did.
