I’m backpacking through Europe starting June 18th and ending August 7th.  Here’s the itinerary:

2. Fly to Amsterdam, Holland
3. Train to Brussels, Belgium
4. Train to Paris, France
5. Train to Nice, France
6. Train to Barcelona, Spain
7. Fly to Rome, Italy
8. Train to Florence, Italy
9. Train to Zurich, Switzerland
10. Train to Munich, Germany
11. Train to Prague, Czech Republic
12. Train to Berlin, Germany
13. Train to Amsterdam, Holland
14. Fly to London, England
15. Fly home

I’m traveling with two of my best buddies from high school, Dustin and Dan, Dustin’s sister, Lindsay, and Dustin’s girlfriend, Morgan.  We’re all getting 15-day train passes that allow us to train 15 days in two months.  We’re planning on spending 4-5 days in the cities that we really like and 1-3 days in smaller cities.  A lot of people have recommended more depth than breadth, but all of us agree that we’d rather have breadth, at least for this trip.  We might also check out the following cities if we have time:

• Pisa, Italy
• Cinque Perre, Italy
• Sienna, Italy
• Venice, Italy
• Lucerne, Switzerland
• Salzburg, Austria
• Vienna, Austria
• Olomouc, Czech Republic

I’ve only been to London and Canada so far, so these seven weeks should be a great experience.  We’ll primarily be staying in hostels and visiting internet cafes only occasionally.  I’ve created another category, Europe, which is where I’ll blog about the trip.  I’m pretty excited to say the least.  Give me some feedback!  More planning to come soon.
