About my blog

As mentioned in my initial post, this blog will follow the preperation for my trip to Europe with my girlfriend Melanie. The expected date for the start of the trek is in May of 2007, after I graduate from UPEI with my BBA, and we would likely return around the end of August though dates are flexible as we don't want to rush. The blog will cover any exciting news and information that I find out during the planning process, like exciting locations I discover, or ways I find out to save money and cut down on expenses.

There will be many random posts, but I will also try to do brief bios on each country we plan to visit. The bios on each country will allow for lots of feedback, and cover information such as:

• important history
• local destinations
• hotspots
• travel information
• and anything else I think may be of interest

Theblog will also be used by Melanie and myself while in Europe, to relay information and experiences to everybody about what we have been doing and seeing on the trip. The blog will allow us to keeping in contact with everybody as writing to everybody would be nearly impossible, though we will seend out lots of postcards. I hope that this blog will be interesting and would be happy to hear any suggestions.

The Route

Here is a map of the intial route we are planning to take trough Europe(you can click on it to see a bigger picture of it). The route is preliminary, starting in London, and then going down the east coast of France. The route does not really show detours or particular stops in each country, a more detailed map of each country will be provided, as each country is discussed in the series of posts to come.
