Taking into account the weather and a possible trip to Hong Kong not long after our return, we've reversed the order of the trip.
We'll now be spending three weeks in Aix-en-Provence first, then 4 days in Budapest, then the river cruise to Nuremburg. A day or two there and one or two in Munich and then Warsaw and home.
AEROPLAN TIP: we had trouble nailing down some flight segments using the website and so decided to pop for the fee and have one of their agents make the bookings for us. As always the agent we got was very helpful and she saved us about $800 in fees by routing us around high-fee hubs and she made sure we had lie-flat seating whenever in the air for more than a couple of hours.
