I also found out this Fall that there is an art exhibition in Venice I want to attend. It is the Biennale. This year it runs from May 9 – November 22. So I think Venice will be my July Eid holiday. I will also try to go visit some friends that now live in Italy near Rome. I am trying to decide if I will take the train from Venice to their town or drive.
I haven’t made any decisions on dates or even destinations for the rest of the year, but I do know I want to try to hit more of the Gulf countries this year. Here is my list to choose from:
- Oman
- Dubai
- Kuwait
- Cambodia
- Thailand
- Vietnam
- Sri Lanka
- Greece
Obviously, I can’t go to all of them, but I have plenty of choices. I will also be traveling for work. Most likely that will Dublin and maybe Iceland! Stay tuned…

Travel from Venice to Rome…DRIVE. And allow extra time for stops. Just my two cents worth, but every little village in Italy is so interesting. And most of the trains aren’t that great. Now I didn’t say drive IN Rome, that’s crazy talk. Venice will be a madhouse in July, but so be it. The Biennale is always so much fun. If you have a bit of time to spend in Rome, try to get your hands on a copy of HV Morton’s “Rome”.
I really loved Cambodia! The food is like Thai food without the spice. The temples were fabulous and he people were delightful.
Oh, and if you go to Iceland, you need to help us look up Hilda, who was the foreign exchange student my mom’s senior year. I met her when I went, but we’ve lost track of her. Ping my mom for more info.
Thanks Debbie! Cambodia is looking great. Everyone loves it and it’s cheap. I feel like Iceland deserves more than a conference trip though.
Hi Tiffany,
Just discovered your blog via bloglovin and already hooked! It looks like a really exciting list. Last year I honeymooned travelling overland in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand and it was a blast, hope you enjoy it too!
