Yesterday was a big milestone in planning our summer trip – I finished booking all our flights. And there are a lot of flights.
For the first time we’ll be traveling in Europe in three countries that are not adjacent to each other. Also the rise of budget carriers in Europe and their competitive prices means that we don’t have any plans that include a train ride at the moment. I think we’ll probably end up on some trains at some point, but for the long haul stuff we’ll be hitting the airports. A lot of airports. All told we have ten flights on this trip, and that is a lot of take offs and landings.
Now our focus has shifted to hotels. We’ve booked hotels in Istanbul and Santorini, but we’ve still got to find good places to stay in Granada, Barcelona, and Athens. I’m loving the research, though. I’m going to miss it when we’re all done.
