Two weeks out--my how time flies.

It seemed like just yesterday that me and Kris bought plane tickets to Lisbon on a whim, but now that our trip is two weeks out, we're realizing that we are quickly running out of time for last minute preparations! Both of us are thrilled to be heading to Western Europe for a month--so far our itinerary includes heading to:

Lisbon, PORTUGAL
Madrid, SPAIN
Paris, FRANCE
Milan, Florence, Rome (including Vatican City), Bari, & Venice, ITALY
Petras, Olympia, Corinth, & Athens, GREECE

...and last but not least....

we'll be flying out of Vienna, AUSTRIA.

We know it seems like a lot of places to travel to for only four weeks, but we're ready to take on the challenge! Plus we figure, any more than four weeks and we'll be broke! So now our next step is booking some youth hostels and figuring out the Eurail schedule, not to mention weighing in our backpacks to make sure we do not cross the limit of 22 lbs for carry-on items! Wish us luck because we'll need it. We leave the 27th of May and return the 24th of June. We'll try to update the blog as much as possible (as long as internet cafés are readily available) to keep you all informed of our crazy adventures!

Love,

Kris and Kel
