My Hotel Ifs

This last weekend my program's group traveled to Normandy and Brittany. It was a very cool trip! On Saturday we drove from Paris to Caen, Normandy. We visited the Memorial de Caen, which is a museum/memorial from WWII. Caen was a city during WWII that was occupied by the Germans, and it was a major victory when the Allies were able to seize it. After Caen, we drove on to Omaha Beach to the American ...

Next stop were we stepping back in time even further...to 1066 to be exact and the battle of Hastings which is deplicated on a 70 m piece of embroidded cloth known as the Bayeux taperstry. On entry to the tapestry you are given an audio guide which provides a running commentry on what is ...

We had a busy day ahead so we set our alarm for 7am as its still dark at that time and so getting out of bed early has not been easy. I woke to the smell of coffee brewing and scrambled eggs in bed. The deal is I drive and Kim cooks.

After breakfast we walked over to the beach and on this beautiful sunny morning we found it hard to imagine the blood shed that occurred in 1944. From ...

Arrived at Ouistreham just before dark and found an Aire de Service right on the beach and this time it was free! The downside was it was right next to the ferry terminal and the 6am ferry to Portmouth the next day was kill the tranquilo the next morning. Kim's Maison du Scooby cooked up a storm. Pork fajitas on rice - delicious. I gave it 5 stars.

The trip to Normandy was a lot to absorb. It's hard to believe, that my grandfather Kelly was there on D-Day over 60 years ago.I certainly do not think I would have survived. I am thankful he did, I wouldn't be here. Nor my mother and her siblings, my sisters, or my nieces. His sacrifice has not only affected the existence of my own life, but the daily lives ...

We followed Easy Company from the movie 'Band of Brothers' and checked out Carantan where they fought battles. We visited the area where Easy took on four guns and several machine guns; killing 4 Easy Company men and taking out some 15 Germans or more. Disabling the guns ...

(S): The D-Day Beaches was our last stop on our 5 month long Great Escape. I had looked forward to this the entire time. My Pop, Milton Zimmer, was in the Army Signal Corps during WWII. On June 6, he landed on Omaha Beach, in the second wave of the attack. His boat was grounded, sideways, on a sandbar for part of the day. No one from his boat could get off right away, which proved to be lucky for him - and my family. He said the waves were red with blood and it was the worst thing ...
