Yes, I had been nurturing for quite some time a wish to\u00a0travel to London and Europe or any other part of the world. Of late it had started weighing on my mind&#8211;how to go about it was my major concern as I had virtually no one from family and friends to accompany me due to their own personal agendas.<\/p>\n<p>One of the lovely friends is settled in the US. Last summer she invited me to spend my summer vacation with her there in Maryland. But to my bad luck, my visa despite all required docs didn&#8217;t come through. However, this summer I was hell-bent to utilize my vacation in the best possible way. So I contacted Mr. Virat from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas Cook<\/a> in G..K. 2 branch. Keeping in mind all my requirements he guided me to take up this Super Budget Europe Tour. My tenacity seemed to pay off. There it was the beginning of a super cool, the most memorable journey of my life.<\/p>\n<p>As the maxim goes \u201cA picture is worth a thousand words\u201d. My pics will speak volumes of the delight and joy we had. You all can imagine the extent of fun and frolic we indulged in as a part of our joyful and delightful trip.<\/p>\n<h3>Here&#8217;s pictorial travel tale of Meena&#8217;s Europe excursion from London to Zurich<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>[smartslider3 slider=15]<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Check out the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/holidays\/international-tour-packages\/europe-tour-packages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Europe Tour Packages<\/a> of Thomas Cook<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>0 0 My story has quite a few twists and turns but ended up like a dream come true!!
