We promised we would post our other Europe itineraries. How
might looking at our itinerary help you? Sometimes seeing what other travellers
have done is a great jumping off point for planning your own trip. When we are
debating how many days to spend and where, we often browse the internet; most
often TripAdvisor forums, travel magazine articles, and blogs just like this
one. Let other traveller’s trials and errors and tips guide you in planning
your own unique vacation.
Well needless to say, we fell in love with Europe. It was
very difficult to choose 2012’s itinerary. When we reflect back, we realize we
saw A LOT this round.

What worked and what didn't:
-We loved Croatia! It had a great mix of natural beauty,
culture, and affordability
-Mykonos stole our heart. The scenery is breathtaking and
the night-life exciting! We want to return….but it would break our rule of
trying to only see new things
-We enjoyed the Amalfi coast and beach towns of Italy…the
pizza is as amazing as everybody says. Strangely it was the all cheese pizza we
enjoyed most
-Venice. A city on water! It is so unique. 3 days was
enough, there was limited activities to do in the evening
-We were not crazy about Rome. We saw the major tourist
attractions ( Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Piaza Navona, Spanish Steps,
and the Vatican) and all were cool, but we felt like we were in a crowd of
people constantly who were simply trying to check items off their to do lists.
