I finally sat down and figured out dates. This is still rough and I still have alot of work to do. Please tell me if this is too much and I'm being too overly ambitious.

Back to London and then Vancouver. September 9

My friends told me to set aside 1 week for add ons if I wanted to stay somewhere longer. I return home to Vancouver on September 9th.

I already had to cut out a few cities. Is this still too much?

Tentatively it looks okay, but you'll probably want to set aside one whole day of travel between cities. That will give you a little more time and a little more breathing room. 3 days per city is, in my opinion, a bare-bones minimum, but if you have your heart set on all of those stops you should be okay. Tired, but okay. :)

By the way, somehow this topic got posted twice so I deleted the duplicate. :cheers:

i like your avatar a lot - i think your schedule is way too busy though. if it were me, i'd trim it up a bit more...

It does look a little intensive - you're going to have some long travel times between a couple of destinations - can do night trains now and again, but sometimes it's nice to sleep in a real bed... Hard to know what to cut, though. Check out www.diebahn.de for train schedules, that'll give you a realistic idea of how long the train is between cities (it works for all of Europe, not just Germany) and that may help you plan/weed things out if necessary. Or work out where you can take a night train.

:tumbleweed:

Yeah trimming up is recommended. The Paris - Lauterbrunnen - Nice leg is going to be brutal.

It looks like an awesome trip, but you may wanna trim a couple places off just to give yourself some breathing space. Are there any places you're only going because you feel like you 'should'?

Yeah there's a few. The Sorrento/Amalfi trip. I'm only going there because I want to go to Capri.

I really don't know what to cut out. I'm gonna have to do alot more thinking. :crybaby:
