So, Brent and I decided we are going to take a little vacation. Come next July we are Europe bound! It has been my life-long dream to bum around Europe. First, we will fly to Ireland and spend a month in the UK, then we will head across the bay to Amsterdam and make our way up through Scandinavia. I am especially excited for Norway and the fjords! Next, we will make our way down through Germany, circle around through Benelux, Czech Republic, and make our way down to the Alpine countries. I can't wait for Switzerland or Austria. I hear they are a dream. We will head to Munich for Oktoberfest (woot!) and then fly over to Barcelona. Then, we will make our way along the French coast and over to Italy! I CANNOT wait for Italy, especially Cinque Terre, a backpackers paradise. After making our way down through Rome, Naples, etc. we will head over to Venice. After Venice, we are going to circle around into Croatia, heading to Plitvice Lakes and Dubrovnik and settling in Athens for a little while. Finally, we will fly to turkey, spend a few weeks there and we are home bound.
Planning this itinerary took ages, especially considering you are only allowed to stay on the mainland for three months. Needless to say, I am completely overwhelmed with joy and excitement!
