All Packed Up

We are all packed and ready to head out for our 18 day Central/Eastern European vacation! Running and hiking shoes are key. We are flying Qatar Airways from Newark Airport to Geneva Airport this evening. The direct 7hr 55min flight should not be too bad after the 14 hours flight to/from Egypt I recently endured. We are both so excited for this trip, which we have been planning since February of this year. I will be taking along the gadgets I took to Egypt, so I hope to actively post pictures and blog to this site as we travel through Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic and Poland. I was able to plot out a pretty comprehensive Google Map for our trip as well. Here is the itinerary:

• Geneva, Switzerland
• Interlaken, Switzerland
• Innsbruck, Austria
• Salzburg, Austria
• Vienna, Austria
• Prague, Czech Republic
• Krakow, Poland
• Bochnia, Poland

In each city we will be staying at hotels or aparthotels (Prague) and taking in all of the sights. We plan on doing plenty of hiking and eating (the food will be better than Egypt ;)). In Innsbruck we will be visiting with Courtney's friend Doris, and in Poland we will be staying with Courtney's brother John and his family. We will also be seeing Courtney's cousin Erin in Poland, who is also traveling in Europe at the same time. See you all soon!
