But what about...? Why aren't you going...? How can you not see...?

As you may have noticed already, and definitely will by the time I start posting from overseas, I'll be skipping over quite a few places in the countries I'll be visiting. My basic plan is for this to be the traveling equivalent of a world history class: covering little bits and pieces of as many areas as possible. On it's own, I'm not a huge fan of world history for exactly that reason... you never get to spend enough time covering any one topic/location. However, it does usually give you at least an idea of what areas you would like to focus on. Unless things in life go terribly wrong and I end up living in a van down by the river, this won't be my last trip to Europe, and I'm hoping that it will give me an idea of places that I want to spend more time in on my next visit.
