I had planned this trip quite a while in advance. Val was coming out to stay with mom. I booked a lot of things in advance. Howard’s illness and death kind of made the trip bittersweet. I cried in many locations. He kept telling me I had to go no matter what. So I did. I flew to Barcelona, then took a train to Lyon, France and then trains to Amsterdam, with a lunch at a stop in Brussels. I ate a lot of good food and saw many great things.
