Preparations

Five days until takeoff! I am down to finetuning and last minute details. Here is a general itinerary. July 19 and 20, Dresden, Germany; July 20-24, Czech Republic; July 24-29, Poland; July 29-August 1, Ukraine; August 1-August 10, Germany. Some of the cities we will see are Liberec and Prague in Czech Republic, Warsaw and Crakow in Poland, Lviv and Luts'k in Ukraine, and Dresden, Frankfurt, Munich, Cologne, Bremen, Bremenhaven, Bramsche, Damme, and Osnabruek in Germany. We will be flying, riding the train, taking buses, and traveling by car during this journey. I got a short haircut today to help with the heat and easy maintenance. I also got a Tilley hat that I plan to wear as much as necessary. It protects from the sun, is vented for heat, and is waterproof. At this point, if I need something I have forgotten, I will have to buy it there.

  2. Loved Prague and Munich. My travel tip is always carry 50 cent and dollar euros for the bathrooms. The only places we found that didn't charge to use the bathroom were US based franchises like McDonald's and Starbucks. Enjoy.
