Back to the East (but this time, in style)

My family and I are of the general philosophy that warmth + beach + book + drink = ideal vacation. This formula has never failed us in the past, however, we decided it was time to tweak it, if only for the next week and a half. Why? Well, with my brother and I both being officially done with college (Sean had to wait a whole year for me – sometimes it sucks to be the oldest, huh?) we thought we needed something momentous. In about 2 hours, we’ll be heading off to Prague, Vienna, and Budapest to see what Eastern Europe has to offer.

None of us has ever been to any of these places, and we don’t have a solidified plan. I was in charge of making some sort of loose itinerary…and I have a fairly lengthy list of things I (I mean “we”) want to see, but a lot of this trip is still up in the air. I’m hoping to funnel down to some “must sees” while we’re still up in the air later tonight, but we’ll see how it goes…

The beautiful thing about traveling with my family is that there is a much smaller probability that any of the hotels we’re staying at will have blatant advertisements for “Lady of the Evening” in the elevator, and I’m sure I’ll sleep easier on the plane with the free alcohol I definitely plan to take advantage of. I’m very excited to see how my family works on a “doing” vacation, and hope the things I googled, the book my Dad has, and just meandering around will all magically blend together to create an unforgettable vacation!
