The Next Leg

It's official: Tom and I have booked the next big leg of our trip. On July 5th, we're headed to (drum roll, please) Bangkok, Thailand!

It's a long way from where we are now:

Yes, we are in Italy right now were in Italy 5 days ago when I wrote this, before my adapter died and we lost Wi-Fi for awhile. And, we're not alone! For the first time in four months, we've met up with friends and family from home.

We're planning to end our European adventure with a bang. We're traveling around France for the next few weeks and ending with a few days in Paris. I fully expect that we'll arrive to Thailand fat and happy.And in case you're curious as to where we've been lately, here's a brief snapshot:

• Hip cities like Vienna, Prague, Krakow, and Budapest
• Tiny towns, including two of our favorites, Telc in the Czech Republic and Monterosso in Italy
• Previously unfamiliar capitals (to us, at least) like Zagreb, Croatia and Ljubliana, Slovenia. (Try saying that three times fast.)

Pictures, tales, and tips to come!

Photo Tour: In, Above, and Around Dubrovnik

I'll admit it. My fascination with Dubrovnik, Croatia probably started around the time that I learned that part of the HBO show, Game of Thrones, is filmed in the old city. Nerdy, and kind of weird, I know. So when we arrived in Dubrovnik, I was kind of surprised to see thousands of people in modern clothing swarming around the city walls. I shouldn't have been, of course. Dubrovnik has entered the 21st century along with the rest of the world. Even the travel industry hasn't perfected time travel yet-- particularly not time-travel to a fictional universe. (One day, I hope, one day.)
