It would be my guess that we sleep in: Zurich, Innsbruck, Salzburg, Graz, Ljubljanja/Bled, Venice
But Innsbruck->Salzburg is short, and Ljubljanja->Venice long.

=== To Organise ===
Mum asked me to write down my experiences with having a child, so I did that, and for some reason carried on doing it even after she could no longer read them.

Great wall of China - Bedaling
Taking the train to the Great Wall of China...
For the first 20 minutes, the train negotiates the Beijing suburbs, then it accelerates to around 80mph for a brief sprint to its first station stop.  After stopping briefly at this station, the train starts climbing at slow speed into the mountains to Badaling.  You start to see parts of the Great Wall as soon as you leave the station stop, so have your camera ready!  The train reverses direction at the stop before Badaling, so don't be surprised when this happens.  2 hours at the wall is plenty, so taking the 09:33 from Beijing out and the 15:22 from Badaling back, or the 13:19 out and 19:40 back all work fine.  If you want to return earlier, there are also regular buses back to Beijing.
 
=== America ===
 
Proposed trip to Canada USA in Summer 2011. We are staying in Waupoos Island, and need to stop in Toronto, and Boston.
 
Since we are in the area, we might as well stop by Niagara Falls. According to Google it is only 4 hours from Boston to New York City. So it would seem prudent to get NYC over with.
 
Proposed route:
