All Reservations Made

We have all of our bookings now for the trip.  I don’t think we need to say that the week of June 6^th in Normandy was already pretty much booked!  Every June 6^th is popular but the 70^th anniversary of D-Day for next year is even more so!
     Pam found us the two hotel stays in Rome, and one in San Agnello, near Sorrento, Italy. 
     Joan found the one in Nettuno/Anzio (though booking.com), a place near Monet’s garden (booking.com) and the  Normandy stay of 8 days (vrbo.com), 2 Choicehotels for the airport connections on June 8 and 9, the rental car for France (Dollar through carrentals.com) and the air reservations between Rome and Paris (Alitalia airlines, a Delta partner).  As a travel agent, Pam is confined to certain contract sites, so she does not have as many options as we.  (She also charges an additional $50 per booking.) 
     Pam said to contact her again 3-4 weeks before the trip to talk about trains.

     (Pam warned us about booking with VRBO properties – “maybe not so good” -- but we aren’t worried – check out where we are staying in Normandy!! …. http://www.vrbo.com/316250.  Because there are only 4 of us, so we would be using only 2 of the 5 bedrooms, the owner, Marian, is only charging us $1140 for 8 nights, and which we will split with Merlyn. AND….she's from England -- so she speaks English!  Yay! )
