So, now that we've booked our flight to Europe....I can hardly stand my excitement!! I mentioned in a previous blog that we're going (in May) - it's one of those things we want to do before we have kids, and we finally have enough vacation to do it! Since we made our reservations, and it's REALLY happening, pretty much all I want to do is trip planning. Most of our weekends are being spent reading guidebooks, searching the internet for places to stay, daydreaming, wondering how we're going to pack, and watching Rick Steves. :) The picture here is of Vernazza, one of the cities in the Cinque Terre, Italy - and currently the background on my computer screen. :)
For those of you who don't know the specifics, here's where we are planning to go (times vary a LOT - and we're going to maximize time in Prague and the Cinque Terre). The places we're visiting are:
Frankfurt (just fly in)
Munich
Salzburg (Sound of Music tour, here I come!!)
Prague
Rome
Florence
Cinque Terre
Milan (just for flight)
and London.
We're so looking forward to the trip - and actually I think it will be the longest trip that Seth and I have taken together...even longer than our Honeymoon! If anyone has input for ideas (places to see, stay, definitely not miss...whatever), we'd definitely appreciate it! I know we're going to end up hitting some snags...it's inevitable....but I'm sure we'll come home with good stories, many pictures, and hopefully not too many extra inches around the wasitline! :) I hear there's lots of good food in Europe, and the Cinque Terre is the birthplace of pesto!!!
