MLC Part Deux

This is going to be a 25 day sojourn through Eastern (or Central as some might argue) and Southern Europe. That's only half the time of my original MLC (mid-life crisis) 5 years ago, when I took two months to drive across north America. I went East through the northern states and Canada, and then returned West via the southern route. I chronicled that trip here on this blog, and even though no one might have read it, (blogging was so new then that when I sent friends the link, some of them asked “what‘s a blog?”) I get a kick out of reading it today.

So I’ll do the same with this trip -- it's for my own reading pleasure later on, but if you do get to stumble upon this -- enjoy!

Part Deux is only going to be half the time of Part one, but will probably end up more than double the total cost! That’s Europe for you…

The plan is to hit Berlin, Budapest, and Prague for 3 days each, then a day in Venice to catch the cruise that will take me through Croatia, Italy, Istanbul and Greece (Mykonos and Santorini). After ending in Athens, I fly to Warsaw overnight (it was a weird airline routing option) and then Madrid for a last 4 days before heading back home to California.

Will I make it back in one piece? Read on and find out...
