Europe Trip Omg

[jeffreyatw]

Anna and I are going to Europe! For 2.5 weeks! In November!...

Yes, we're really, really jumping the gun and planning way too far in advance. But what the heck there is not much else to do during downtime at work. At this point we're planning on visiting these places:

• London
• Paris
• Cinque Terre
• Rome
• Venice

That is so cool! I'm jealous :) Jon and I plan to do something similar someday. Just remember, all the planning is not always to your advantage. Try to go with the flow and spend some time actually enjoying where you are rather than worrying about where to go next.

This coming from a chronic over-stressor, mind you. But sometimes when you do get away from the choice overload of the Internet, things become easier. My sister and I did Mexico and Guatemala with nothing but a Lonely Planet book and random points of internet access at Cafes. That worked out great for us, in terms of the trip. Otherwise, I did suffer from a bit of Internet withdrawal.

However you decide to do it, have a great time! And please make note of some of the best places you see so that you can share them with hopeful future travelers :)

I'd drop Rome and Venice, but keep the rest. They are the most out of the way, and Italy deserves a trip of its own. It would help to know what kind of stuff you guys are looking to do. 2.5 weeks is a long time, and you guys are planning on a lot of travel - you might burn out. Make sure that there's some sort of relaxation period at the end of the trip (4-5 days+), so it really feels like a vacation rather than a city-hop.
