Transcript

I'm the friend who has booked the entire Europe trip. This is the friend who thought Croatia was in France. What countries are we going to? France, Italy, Greece. Correct. What order are we going to each destination? Do you mean countries? Cities, places. Like we land in Paris and then we're going to the south of France, which is the south of France. What is the town called? Positano. Are you being serious right now? Is it Florence? Oh my. After Nice, where are we going? I think that's when we go to Santorini. How are we getting to Santorini? Plane. Are you sure about that? Boat. We are flying. To get to Santorini, what stopover are we taking? I didn't know we had one. Wait, a stopover in the plane? Paris. Now that we're in Santorini, where do we go next? Paros. How do we get to Paros? I'd say boat. Correct. After Paros? Mykonos. One night. Wow. After Mykonos? Positano. After Positano? We're just going to be in Italy. Just frolick around. Rome. Florence. Three rapid-fire questions. Where is Rome? Athens. Where is Nice? Italy. No. Where is Florence? Italy. One out of three. Where is the Colosseum? Athens. Are we going to Athens? That's where Rome is. Rome's... Am I wrong? How long does it take to get to Abu Dhabi? Oh, I don't know. 10 hours? We're going to play Nintendo Switch, Monopoly Deal, drink some wine, and go to sleep. What language do they speak in France? Oh, French. I was going to say Parisian. How do we get from Naples to Positano? We have a private driver. And they said they could get their llama to take our bags. What? We need someone to take our bags, they can get a llama. You mean the porters? You donkey. You're not a porter or a donkey. Stick with mommy and nothing will go wrong.
