Wow, that was quite a trip! I've never been outside the U.S. I had a good friend who volunteered for a 6-year detail in Italy. We talked about going, but it seemed he had his or his wife's family there every time he had time off. Finally, at the last- he kept asking us to come before he had to return home. But by then, he had been to all the tourist things so many times with others that we figured it would be a nuisance to him and his wife. They took trains everywhere for travel from their home in Aviano- Rome, Switzerland, Germany, everywhere... Trains were the form of transportation that everyone used. I hope your wife heals up fast!
