YouTube Video Description

Let Erin and Phil book this same experience for you, personally! We started ABC Trips to offer our bespoke itineraries to those seeking authentic culture, epic landscapes, and uncompromising luxury. 👉🏼 https://abctrips.com Will this trip feel like a scenic and relaxing journey through the French countryside? Or a never-ending trek with eight bags and couple of tired and hungry kids? We’re about to find out. Contents: 0:00 Intro 0:45 Arriving at Milano Centrale Railway Station 2:07 Arriving at Milano Porta Garibaldi 4:47 Departing Milan for Paris 5:18 Visiting the Dining Car 7:58 Settling in as we cross the French bordedr 9:41 Arriving in Paris 11:05 Checking into Hotel Castille 11:57 Outro We’re the Lockwoods. Since 2020, we’ve been traveling the world to experience—up close and in person—all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise see only in textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’ve worked hard to fund our little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people. In 2025, we started ABC Trips to help travelers experience the world the way we do—deeply, intentionally, and without the stress of figuring everything out alone. After years of full-time travel, expedition cruising, luxury hotels, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences with our family, we realized something: the hardest part of epic travel isn’t the destination—it’s the decisions. Which ship actually gets you more time on the ice? Which safari lodge delivers real wildlife encounters? Which “bucket list” experiences are worth the money… and which are just hype? ABC Trips exists to cut through the noise. We plan and host thoughtfully curated journeys built around firsthand experience, honest recommendations, and moments that actually move the needle—whether that’s setting foot on Antarctica, tracking wildlife in Africa, or discovering cultures in a way that feels human, not herded.
