Me and my good friend Stephanie are about to embark on an amazing opportunity! We are going to backpack Europe from May 28th to July 1st, meaning we leave this Thursday, in just 4 days! We are so unbelievably excited and blessed to be able to have this opportunity! I am going to try to make updates here so that you all can see what we're up to! We don't know the internet situation in all of the places that we're going, but from what we've read, it seems to be easy to access.
We decided to travel by the Eurail and to stay in hostels along the way. Right now Stephanie and I are in the final stages of planning - packing, hostel reservations, train reservations, etc. We are so ready to stop planning and to start this adventure! We'd really love your prayers and thoughts as we are abroad! We are aware of the risks of it being just two girls, but we weren't going to let that stop us from taking this trip. And no, neither of us have seen the movie "Taken" and we don't plan to before we leave - why scare ourselves?
Stephanie and I have made about a million different layouts of our itinerary, but we've finally nailed one - we think. Here's a rough layout for y'all:
5/28 - Depart DFW and head to Paris
5/29 - 5/31 - Paris. France
6/1 - 6/2 - Madrid, Spain
6/3 - 6/5 - Barcelona, Spain
6/6 - 6/7 - Interlaken, Switzerland
6/8 - 6/9 - Venice, Italy
6/10 - 6/15 - Greece (Athens, Mykonos, other islands & places)
6/16 - 6/19 - Rome, Italy
6/20 - 6/21 - Florence, Italy
6/22 - 6/23 - Munich, Germany
6/24 - 6/26 - Prague, Czech Republic
6/27 - Berlin, Germany
6/28 - 6/29 - Brussels, Belgium
6/30 - 7/1 - Paris and fly back to DFW
Hopefully I'll be able to update often! Also, we would LOVE any of your suggestions of places to see while we're in these cities! We're approaching this trip with very open minds, so suggestions would be awesome!
We want to throw out a special thank you to Tracy and Michael for encouraging us to take this trip in the first place - your suggestion is about to change our lives forever! We love y'all and can't wait to tell you all about it in person once we get back!

Man, I wish I could go again. That trip taught me so much. To experience something other than your own environment, culture, language, gives you a better appreciation of life and the way you choose to live it. To think that this trip will change your life forever is absolutely amazing. Have fun and we cannot wait to see you when you return.
Love,
Michael and Tracy
When you go to Greece go to Paros Island. When I went it wasnt a huge tourist place and was really relaxing.
