We have officially decided on our itenerary! It looks like this...
Sept. 17 - Arrive in Madrid,Spain
Sept 18 - Oct 27 - Travel via train, anywhere we please. TBD day-by-day
Oct 28. - Depart Athens, Greece.
Sounds good to me! Basically all of the itenerary planning was useless because we both feel it'll be best to play things by ear when we're there. With a completely open itenerary we can plan more or less time as we get to the cities we want to see.
We will both have a list of "must see" cities, but as far as when we get there and how long we spend in those cities will depend on how we feel that day.
It's the best way to back pack, in my opinion. Iteneraries tie you to a schedule and can end up making your vacation more of a chore. I don't want to get back from Europe and be ready for some down time. Or not be able to remember things from the trip because everything was such a whirl-wind.
I can't even begin to explain how excited we are for this trip. An open itenerary makes it even more exciting!!
Safe Travels,

Aghhhhh, I'm so jealous. But yeah, not having a set itinerary can be pretty useful especially if there are train strikes and stuff. I'll have to let you know where I'll be for school and if we could meet up somewhere!
