Also, here is a map of our tentative travel route:

Dear Kristin & Mike - You guys are going to have such a great time! I've been to Europe three times and not even for a total of three months so I'm so excited for your tour of a lifetime! Oktoberfest is a great time... just remember that beers are extra strong not to mention enormous! Amsterdam and Prague are two of my favorite cities in Europe and the French Riviera is absolutely divine. You're even going to Bruge which I've also been to so I really can't recommend any other places. I think you've got Europe covered and are poised to take it by storm. I look forward to following your trip (and living vicariously through you since it'll be a few years before I can return).

Hi, Mike and Kristin. We hope that you have arrived safely. Since, we cannot find any comments on your site, we assume that you have not been able to take the time to find an internet station, so we will keep checking in for your initial trip highlights.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Love,

Grami and Bill

Hola Mike and Kristin. It sounds like you guys are having a great time! Needless to say you have to know that Kev and I are so jealous...I have 300 pages of lecture notes to read by Friday and Kev just started school this week...ahhh how we wish we were with you in Amsterdam! Any visits to the Grasshopper yet? Also, if you have time the Anne Frank museum is off the beaten path but was so amazing, it is the actual house that she lived in the attic in and she wrote on the walls and stuff and it is all still there...i cried...maybe mot the most uplifting thing to do, but so worth it. My dad will be in Paris next week and wants to see you guys. He is going to try to get a hold of you via this blog site. Here is his e-mail too so you can try to make contact. kbaca@florexpo.com. Love you both. Keep livin it up, k
Kevin and I are living vicariously though you.
Talk to you soon,
anna
