Set Up and Ready to go

Here we are, up and running. I tried the "travel" template, seemed appropriate.

Anyway, we can use this blog to chart our progess. Here's what we have so far:

Where: Europe
When: Fall 2011
Who: Eric and Shannon
What: An Awesome Vacation
How: By any means necessary

In September/October 2009 we visited Scandinavia - Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. We absolutely loved it and have pretty much been talking about going back ever since. After weighing some options, we decided Fall 2011 and eastern Europe would be best. Our current city options include:

• Bratislava, Slovakia
• Budapest, Hungary
• Vienna, Austria
• Prague, Czech Republic
• Krakow, Poland
• Warsaw, Poland

Eh, I think that's it. Maybe another city in one of those countries, maybe Germany if necessary.

Here's what we need to do in the short term -

• research flights
• research destinations
• save money
• drink beer
• research family background
• save vacation time
• have fun with all of it

The purpose of this blog is to discuss those things, track our planning for posterity sake, collect our research before we forget, and maybe get a little bit silly.
