The Trip

Backpack…check
Eurail pass…check
Hosteling International membership…check
Airline tickets…check
Will still have a job after a month of absence…???

Darcy and I have been talking about backpacking Europe for several years now, and finally, it is upon us. We leave for Amsterdam two weeks from tomorrow and will not return until May 2. The only thing left to do is decide if we want to be the “ugly Americans” or if we should claim we are from Canada. Minnesota is close enough, right?

Following is our tentative itinerary. We want to remain flexible, so there is no guarantee that we will stick to any part of this plan. Who knows, we may not even make it out of Amsterdam ;)



1. Amsterdam, Netherlands
2. Haarlem, Netherlands
3. Brussels, Belgium
4. Paris, France
5. Sarlat, France
6. Nice, France
7. Interlaken, Switzerland
8. Venice, Italy
9. Salzburg, Austria
10. Munich, Germany
11. Vienna, Austria
12. Budapest, Hungary
13. Frankfurt, Germany
14. Bacharach, Germany
15. Amsterdam, Netherlands
16. Manchester, England
