Peter and I plan a European vacation next June-July with Sean and Frannie. The four of us will spend time in Alicante, Spain with Francis and Nina, and their son Cisco -- who live there each summer to be near Francis' parents. The rest of their time is spent in Amherst, Massachusetts, where Francis is a professor at U Mass.
June 18: Fly to Paris. We hope to visit with Olivier and Ruxandra; perhaps Annie or Jonathan and Carrie will come in from London.
June 23-28: Accompany Sean to SPIE Astronomical Instrumentation conference in Marseilles. Hope to visit with Cédric and his family, perhaps Saleh and Adrien -- definitely visit Nice, Cannes, and Monaco.

June 29: Travel to Alicante, Spain to hang out with Francis, Nina, and family. Hang out in Alicante, Santa Paola, and around Costa Blanca. Explore Spain and Portugal at our leisure.
July 5: We hope to be able to visit Ukraine, and perhaps travel a bit with Rachel for another week, but this part of the trip will remain unclear for a few more months.
I enrolled in the structural anatomy / neuromuscular therapy program contingent upon this pre-existing vacation being granted as a summer break, so I don't plan to study very much while I'm away.
