From the Mediterranean to the Baltic
For our next trip, on March 1, 2016 we fly to Palermo, Sicily located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea. After Sicily, we visit Italy's toe and heel, and then make our way north to Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine, finishing our trip in countries that border the Baltic Sea: Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. We fly home from Riga on June 10.
