Europe Overview

For those of you that didn't notice, I was out on vacation.  :)  My husband and I finally made it back to Europe.  We met there nearly 8 years ago, but haven't really been back to the same locations.  We didn't get to visit the place we met (yet), but we did make it back to where he was living at the time and some of our first date locations.

Not only do we love traveling, but we also love a good deal.  Combining these two, creates a pretty big rush for us.  Since we really did't have nice camera equipment back then, we really wanted to capture some of the sites this time around.  I will be posting a series of blogs about our trip.  Itineraries, costs, recommendations, gluten free options, and of course pictures will be included.  This post is big picture and should give you the overall view of our 12 day trip.

(All items listed below include both my husband and I.  Price is our TOTAL cost, not per person.)
