business travel to China will take 5-6 weeks. It will be mid-September when I return to Toronto. -count(Monte Cristo); 2005-7-22 (#2413553@0)

是去意大利还是希腊? 或是象Aeneas一样从希腊到土尔其, 最后到罗马? :) -klassische(老音乐迷); 2005-7-22 (#2413345@0)

the revised itinerary is - first fly to Rome, stay one night and a day in Rome city and tour around historical sites such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon..,followed by 2-day stay in Athens, visting the Acropolis, the Byzantine and Christian Museum, The Columns of Olympian Zeus, etc, then cruise along famous resorts of Aegean Sea islands for 8 days before we arrive Istanbul; In Istanbul, we will spend 2 days casual sightseeing in the Old City historical sites as well as the Asian part of the city, after one day rest, we finally return to Toronto from there. sounds a incredible trip, isn't it ;-) -count(Monte Cristo); 2005-7-22 {449} (#2413547@0)

Are you going for a conducted tour or are you going on your own? -yourdottyfriend(~); 2005-7-23 (#2413992@0)
Guided tour.we take this tour as part of team building activities. the company pays 2/3 of the cost of the discounted price. the tour is too long for self-serviced traveling. The accommodation will be planed by the agency. too wonderful to be true, eh? ;-) -count(Monte Cristo); 2005-7-23 {244} (#2414086@0)

The downside is that you cannot control the size (ideally 2?) or agenda (...) of the group, :P BTW, you may find the movie Italian Lessons interesting. -klassische(老音乐迷); 2005-7-23 (#2414091@0)

The plot seems to have been adapted from the life of a classical composer(master level), but I can't remember who he is.Most talent musicians, nowadays or in the past, live unfavored lifies despite they usually have diversed social connections. I know a few friends, emmigrated from east europ and the previous SU, good examples. Sigh. -count(Monte Cristo); 2005-7-23 {216} (#2414185@0)
I don't understand what your meaning is by controling group size, it's a part of team building activities of the year. -count(Monte Cristo); 2005-7-23 (#2414282@0)

How does one find a company like this?! -victoria2005(Victoria); 2005-7-24 (#2415476@0)
Ya, what a fun company you are at! When you have more interesting and cool activities going on like this, I’ll seriously consider moving into your company. :) -keguazier(冰棍儿、凉粉儿); 2005-7-24 (#2415617@0)

My dream vacation: (1) Paris, (2) Take Oriental Express train from Paris to Istanbul, (3) sail across Mediterranean to Greece, and then to Rome, (4) going to operas in Rome, Milan, Turino, Venice and Verona. :) -klassische(老音乐迷); 2005-7-22 (#2413362@0)

That will be a true Odyssey of tour. don't know whether I can afford once in a life. -count(Monte Cristo); 2005-7-22 (#2413556@0)

Would you please share with us when you work out a detailed plan, i.e., info re costs, length of the tour, related websites, etc.? Thanks in advance. -yourdottyfriend(~); 2005-7-23 (#2413995@0)
