Just a taste of the continent, nothing more

Easter Break is quickly approaching. 3 weeks of travel and fun all around Europe.

Now 3 weeks is an awful long time for spring break, but even that isn't enough for what I want to see on this spectacular continent. But, being frugal with both time and money, I've finally narrowed down the locations that I'll be going to:

Week 1: Ireland (Dublin, Galway, Killarney), Northern Ireland (Belfast), Scotland
Week 2: Brussels, Prague, Vienna, Salzburg
Week 3: Barcelona, other parts of Spain and maybe Portugal, finishing off in Munich and Stuttgart

Now if I had things my way, a tour of Italy and Greece would be on my list, especially considering my interest in Roman history. Only reason they were cut out was because no one else wanted to go to Greece and I've already been to Italy (though my memory of it is rather vague).

Thankfully, other locations closer to Sheffield will become weekend trips after Easter Break is over. This includes various places in the UK, Paris, Amsterdam, and perhaps Bruges. And we can't forget a return to mighty London.

Anyway, hopefully someday soon (fingers crossed for the summer after graduation), I'll be able to return here with some awesome friends and get to every other place I wanted to go.

Danielle, let's plan this thing out.

    2. you're not going to greece?? bummer. how could people not want to go to greece.

    3. prague = 1 day and salzburg = 0.5 days. don't overestimate them or you'll miss out on the place you should spend more time = vienna.

  2. Lil, thanks for the advice. And you're defs in on the trip if you want... but you'll have to travel with Travis, haha

    And I know it sucks we're not going to Greece... I wanted to, just couldn't find the time/other people to do it. Most people here are spending a full year, so they're going in the summer.
