Christmas in Prague was beautiful and an experience that will never be forgotten. I posted a few pictures in the previous post; however, I did not have the time to stop and write. Now that I have been granted a few moments of peace, I thought I would indulge everyone with details of our Christmas.
First of all, we had a small fête here at home then began our adventure in Prague. We arranged airport transfers by the hotel instead of taking a taxi. They arrived on time as promised, in their Mercedes town car. They even had a car seat for Lana. We arrived at Hotel Savoy to be greeted by the bellman outside to take our luggage to our room. Everyone was so kind and treated us like ROYALTY! We checked into the hotel and went on our way to the suite. To our surprise the hotel had decorated our suite with brand new toys, robes, and many treats for the kids and us! The hotel and room itself was beautiful, it had an unbelievable Turkish bath that was all marble, separate bath and huge walk-in shower! They even stocked the bath with new toys and bath seat for Lana. She also had her own personalized towels and bath accessories.. She was treated like the little princess she is!! The mini bar in the room was stocked daily and room service was exquisite!! The attention to detail in the hotel was magnificent! The hotel concierges’ were very kind and willingly arranged any event or plans that we needed.
As most of you know, Europe has an amazing public transportation system and in Prague the hotel we selected had the tram stop directly across the street so it was a major plus to be able to hop on the tram anytime to get around Prague.

We spent many days just taking in the sites and the breathtaking beauty of Prague from the magical castles, cathedrals, bridges, towers, and churches. It had wonderful cobbled stone roads, and beautiful courtyards. The entertainment, cuisine, and displayed art were unbelievable. Now I understand why this mystic medieval city is regarded as one of Europe’s most charming places to visit! And of course, the shopping was wonderful! The cuisine at every restaurant, café, and bar we ate in was superb!! We all felt that the cuisine tasted the best of all the places we have visited here in Europe. Jayce and I always buy chocolate wherever we visit so we brought some back home with us-I can’t wait to splurge and taste it!
The Charles Bridge
Old Town Bridge Tower is one of the most beautiful gothic tower's in Europe. It is situated on the first pillar of the Charles Bridge.

Although we did not have the traditional Christmas at home, and we missed our families dearly-we thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity of being in Prague. I know Lana will not remember the experience; however, Jayce will and he mentioned that it will be a moment that he will treasure forever. He also asked me when and where we will be going on our next trip…. I told him that I have a few ideas I’m still bouncing around in my mind. I’m looking forward to planning our next journey!
After we said our good-bye’s to Prague, we returned home to many packages!! YIPPEE more presents!!! We decided that we will have our traditional turkey dinner on New Year’s and unwrap the other presents we received. Life is good.
