Rather than start a new blog for my grand European tour, I'm going to recycle this one. Feel free to peruse the ever-so-brilliant prior posts, but they're definitely not about my trip.
My itinerary is as follows:
I'm staying in hostels and traveling solo until I get to the UK. (I do have plans with a couple of friends along the way.) Once I get to the UK, however, I'll be hanging out with my friend Brian, a career Air Force guy recently stationed in Lincoln. He and I will finish up the trip together by touring the UK, meeting up with various friends, and finally ringing in the New Year in Paris.
My goal is to post at least a few pictures each day, along with a general overview of what I saw - at a bare minimum. On days where I call it early, I want to post broader thoughts.
Anyway, I'll let you know where I am when. I'll post my favorite pictures of the day. And I'll share what I find best about each day, as well as any challenges I face. Feel free to comment here for any additional information you want, or to ask any questions. I won't be on social media much during my trip, so this is the best place to reach me while I'm gone.
Nineteen days and counting!
