I don't know if it's weird to be posting to a blog about my Europe trip before I go, but I do think that the planning process has definitely engulfed a huge portion of my mindshare and planning time, so I don't see why not. Anyway, we're slowly but surely making reservations at hostels, we've booked all of our busabout sectors, and we made the hard decision of cutting out Istanbul and Corfu. :( :( :( It had to be done, both time and money wise ($300 each to fly to Istanbul! That's only $100 less than our flight each to Dublin from San Diego!!!!), but we really wanted to go to both those places.

I set a goal, and I'm making it happen.
