@yehuda Where did you daven in Rome and in Amsterdam?

Rome at the Great Synagogue when I could.
Amsterdam at the Chabad Yeshiva which was right near the hotel. I can try to get the address later.

Yeah, sorry guys. I've fallen behind

That's sweet. TR's are harder to get to than I imagined. I can briefly tell you that Friday afternoon to Motzai Shabbos was not enough time to go up the Rock and do a dolphin tour. So in terms of planning how much time to spend there, give yourself some more time.

I started this TR, but there is more to write. Hopefully soon.

@yehuda I don't know how you did a 6 week trip going from country to country, I just did a 10 day trip and I was exhausted at the end...
I could only imagine how exhausting the Spain part of your trip was....

Ha, yeah that was like 6 flights and a 2 long car rides in 1 week. But we just called it early every night (and sometimes slept in a bit) but didn't get too exhausted till the last few days of the trip.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I started on GIB then actually started being productive with my studying, so I stopped the TR, then we went to DEN and I wanted to get those TRs done as it's clearly better when everything is fresh in your mind. Then I got home to a flooded apt, so yeah I'm behind with this. lol

I'll just tell you, you want more than just a Friday afternoon and Shabbos there (we left Motzai Shab) and be prepared for crazy driving once you cross the border. Really cool how many Jews there are there, and they walk around with yarmulkahs on.

Sunday morning we flew out of Spain, so GIB was really the last part of our Spain trip, so you have most of the info already there. Hopefully will get to GIB once things settle down.

Nope. Didn't even notice that idea in the GIB thread. Either way, we had about 5 non-Shabbos hours there. Was a mistake, but nu, not everything was going to work out perfectly.

@yehuda I dont think you can write in your signature
'TR in progress from our 6.5 week Honeymoon through Europe'

maybe try 'half a trip report of my honeymoon trip/euro trip', or you can continue your trip report

I hope you have Sun in GIB because Shabbos alone is not enough.
From what I researched, the Alcazar is the only main attraction and if you start in the morning, you'll be done by 1. You may also want to see the river (walkable from the Alcazar) and/or go on a boat, but I don't think it's a more special boat ride than on any other river. Seeing the river was nice, but not a must. Walking the streets was great - we though Seville was one of the cutest town/streets area on our trip.

I'm looking into booking the hotel now in GIB. doesnt look like there are any that use points. so the Elliott has a 3 night special where you get the 3rd night free on the weekends. so Sunday night is free. so planning on spending Sunday in GIB and maybe go to Tangiers. still trying to figure out Shabbos in GIB , Food, shul , hotel , electric doors , etc..

@Yehuda Wow what a trip. The whole thing looks so exciting. I wish I was able to pull off a honeymoon like this. I took a month long roadtrip across the US which was nice but I was naive then and used Priceline for hotels instead of points. I kind of wish I planned it out in detail like you did with Israel and Europe.

It works just as well for anniversaries or vacations.

I wish but I don't think I'll ever be able to take off that much time again. Hopefully I can pull a 10 day trip one of these days.
