Sorry/Entschuldigung: should have been ‘Jeff’, not ‘Mike’ of course!

And Berlin is not half bad either Mike (and Matt)! My brother lives and works there – yours truly was born in Germany but has been living in Australia since January 1985 and has since become an Australian citizen.
Here’s Berlin’s very good official website:

Lots of stuff going on if not quite as much as in London culturally speaking ..

Gesundheit!

Parts of Europe you haven’t seen? Come to Ireland then! Great people, gorgeous scenery. The land of saints and scholars. Great fun

You two should totally vacation in SF. But I’m biased. :)

Spring and autumn are my favorite times to travel. Since I travel solo (unfortunately by default rather than by choice) it’s a lot more pleasant to go in the off-season when everything isn’t crowded with couples and families. It’s also cheaper then, which should particularly appeal to Jeff (I’m Jewish too). So now’s the time to plan an autumn getaway!

Just for the record, I have 41.65 days of vacation saved up myself. And it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to take any of them until late September or October.

Italy is a good option for you. Start north in Milan or Vienna, train your way down through Naples, Florence, and Rome, and end with a few days of sunning yourself on the coast of Positano.

The mix of cities ensures enough variety so you won’t feel trapped or bored, and each one has a unique personality. Starting with Venice and ending with Positano ensures you’ll have more epace and quiet on both ends of your trip with all the rush and noise in the center section.

i love taking trips without defined plans. (mattP doesnt like it so much), but its really easy to go to berlin, prague, wherever and just explore, it’s an adventure. i loved my trip to london and berlin a couple of months ago (it had been a while since i was in either place. london is of course easier, but berlin is lots of fun). i google mapped a bunch of hotels (i mean, how much are you in a hotel anyway) and just looked at books, kept my eyes open, and decided over dinner each night what i’d do the next day. i really get off on taking trains in foreign countries (especially ones that are in different languages).

with that much time, you can really do a long european trip. i’m jealous.
