EuroTrip #3 Preparations

Anytime we have the opportunity to travel, no matter where our destination is, I can't help but feel so grateful.  My husband and I work hard for the life we have and the life we've made together, and we're always saving for our next trip.  Traveling is what we LOVE to do, so we're at it again!  Unlike our last two trips to Europe, this one will be special for another reason.  We're going with our two best friends from college (for my husband it goes back to high school), and the more the merrier!  We're so excited to share a trip of a lifetime with our friends!

The planning aspect was definitely more challenging this time given there were four people to plan with instead of two, but it was so worth it!  First we had to all coordinate off work (the biggest challenge), then once we had dates we booked hostels, intra-country transportation, tours and lastly flights to Europe.  This trip won't be cheap, so we're going at it from the perspective of backpacking on a budget.  We're all in agreement that we'd rather spend our money toward the experiences rather than lavish hotels and fancy meals.  With that said we're fitting what we need in a pack, we'll stay in hostels, shop at local markets and picnic, and learn the public transportation systems in every city.

My husband and I are really excited about this trip, but even more excited about just being reunited.  We all live on opposite sides of the U.S., so when we see each other it's a rare treat.

We're visiting Barcelona Spain, Munich Germany, Luxembourg City Luxembourg and Paris France.

Four countries in two weeks...we can do it!

Can't wait for more pictures like this.
