I’ve been away too long, although it is with good excuse. I’ve been busy spending my online time planning our recently booked 25 day trip to Europe! During a good portion of this trip we’ll be doing the Rick Steve’s Best of Europe in 14 Days tour with a small group of 22 others. We’ve read great things about this tour, it’s not your typical European tour- it’s small, it’s very active, you stay 2 nights at all destinations, and you get a lot of free time to do your own thing. Without doing the tour we’d have quite a big headache arranging travel and figuring out all the logistics on our own for 25 days as Europe newbies.

Here is the map of the tour we’re taking:

We’ll also be In addition we’ll be doing some of our own exploring before and after the tour. We’ll be hitting the following cities once it’s all said and done:

London, England

Paris, France

Beaune, France (Burgundy region)

Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland (Swiss Alps)

Reutte, Austria

Venice, Italy

Florence, Italy (Tuscany)

Rome, Italy

Munich, Germany

Frankfurt, Germany (Rhine Area)

Obviously we can’t wait to take this journey it will be the first time in Europe for both me and the wife. We’ll be flying out May 18th so we’ve got less than 3 months to make our final preparations! Any suggestions are appreciated!
