A EuroTrip to Remember: An idea for this summer

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve posted again.

It’s been a few crazy months. I will be catching up with the posts.  I really should be writing on here daily… gah.

In the mean time…

The photo to the right is a shot of one of the 5 Cinque Terre towns in Italy.

It’s been my dream to visit there ever since I last went to Italy in 2008. So naturally, I can’t wait to get back to Europe this summer and make it happen finally!

As the dates draw closer, I have started to plan our basic itinerary.

We will be there for a good few months, and I’ll be with some of my best friends, so I am very, very excited. It won’t be the first time I have done Europe, but the itinerary will be extraordinarily memorable, because I will be doing it together with extraordinary company.

Here’s what I have in mind right now.

1. June 2010 W1: Fly from NYC to London. Sort out some biz (will take a few days)
2. June 2010 W2: Fly to Portugal. Visit Lagos (and Lisbon again)
3. June 2010 W3: Head into Spain. Work through Rhonda, Sevilla, Granada, Cordoba. Up to Madrid, take day trips to Toledo and Segovia. Then to Salamanca and Santiago De Compostela. Take the northern route to San Sebastien via Leon, then Bilbao, and finally Barcelona.
4. July 2010 W2: From Barcelona, get the ferry to Italy, see the Almafi Coast and Sorrento in the south along with Napoli before hitting Roma, then go through Verona on way to Florence, with day trips to Assizi and Siena.
5. August W1 Finish Italy with a few days at Cinque Terre.

August Trip Break: Travel with my buddy Scott for a few weeks. Then go live in Berlin for at least 1 month. Get some work done. See Potsdam and Dresden. I am also very curious about Turkey …supposedly a fantastic country, brilliant history, great beaches, nice food… easy to travel!

6. Late August: Head south to Greece then Turkey. Or east to Croatia and the Balkans (Split, Zagreb, Trogir, Pula, Dubrovnik in Croatia and Sarayevo and Mostar in Bosnia). The latter is what I’m thinking, as the weather would be cooling down a bit for the islands.

I haven’t yet discussed this with my travel buddies, so I should probably share this with them first and see what they think :) We still have a good few months, but I will keep everyone posted on this as it develops further…
