Europe planning begins…

Map of Europe

Trip planning - woohoo!

Its official, I leave for Dublin on August 10th.

I have spent hours studying my atlas and determining the best routes to bum around Europe this Fall. Unfortunately because of funding, I am going to have to skip the usual big tourist places like Italy and Spain, and stick to places that I have a couch to crash on!
I am slowly getting an itenerary together and purchasing cheap, juicy tickets from RyanAir and AerLinus for my hops around Europe….its amazing that flying is now much cheaper than the train.
I am still working out the exact order, but here is a guesstimate:

Lexington -> Dublin (Ireland) -> Waterford (Ireland) -> Cork(Ireland) -> Tralee(Ireland)
then a hop over to Brussels to get into the Netherlands.

Dublin(Ireland) -> Brussels (Belgium) -> Hertogenbosch (Netherlands) -> Amsterdam(Netherlands)

then a hop to Germany for my friend’s birthday!

Eindhoven(Netherlands) -> Munich (Germany) -> Konstance (Germany) -> Berlin (Germany)

I still have to decide if I want to go visit a friend in Stockholm, Sweden and freeze my butt off or make a bee-line for North Africa, (Egypt or Morocco) for some warmth, cheapness, and scuba diving!
