Wohin fahren Sie?

Here is the basic plan.

We leave Eugene for Dresden on June 14. On June 20, we leave Dresden for Venice. On June 24, we head back to Germany to Jülich. On June 27, we leave Germany and take a train to Paris. On July 1, we head back to Eugene.

Dresden, Venice, Jülich, and Paris. It will be a decent amount of of time in just a few places so we can soak it all in.

Travel tips


Seasoned travel that I am, I still have a lot to learn. Misty has picked up a smorgasbord of travel tips from her friends, and I, in turn benefit from their collective wisdom. Here's one tidbit: Invest in some moisture-wicking (non-cotton) clothing that can be handwashed in the hotel room at night and dries by morning. REI has plenty of clothing that fits the bill, like the pictured shirt, for example. The last time I went to Europe, I ended up doing laundry twice! What a waste!
