Intro

I'm sure that at some point someone, while reading this blog, will think to themselves Wow! These 3 guys are really good at planning a trip through Europe! They must have really thought out the intricacies of their itinerary!.

Rest assured... this is not how it happened...



4 or 5 months ago, Dave (one of the men), Me (also a man) and Steve (The Bear) sat in Dave's basement in front of an iMac open to a Google Maps displaying the entire continent of Europe. Back then my geography was way off- I couldn't find Copenhagan on a map for the life of me, and yet we sat there, pointing out cities that we wanted to one day visit. As the list numbered somewhere close to 25-30 cities, we came up with our first route possible route, starting in London and Ending in Portugal (the trip has changed significantly since):





When someone would suggest a city that was off-of-the-beaten-path, we would laugh, and then include it in the itinerary. We nixed nothing and considered everything. Over the next weeks, we read up on places and tweaked and altered the plan again and again. Truth be told, while we are leaving tomorrow, the plan is still not set in stone. It probably will never be; that's the beauty of the trip. We hope to hit cities from London to Amsterdam, Prague to Madrid. Swiss alps, Greek isles, French towns we can't pronounce... it's all there. Knowing the personalities of the three of us, there will probably be surprises and disappointments along the route, but such is the life of someone who is traveling through Europe.

So come along and join! We will be updating the blog with the funny stories we acquire over the next two months, as well as less desirable things like our feelings and our thoughts on french people. The blog will be written by all 3 people (you can see who wrote it at the bottom of the post) as much as we possibly can (do they have wifi in europe??)

ENJOY!
