going along. My elder brother will go with us, too. He never been overseas (从未出过国) and he is
even more excited than the children. My father is so old that he'd like to stay at home and take care
of the house.

Europe,we're going to some countries for sightseeing(观光).We'll go to places either by train or by bus.
