France 2023
This trip starts with a few days in NYC before embarking on an Atlantic Ocean crossing on the Queen Mary II, an item on Ed’s bucket list. With a brief stopover in London, we will then spend a few weeks in Paris before exploring much of France and enjoying the people, countryside, food and of course, the wine.
