Cheese - The World Tour

Just laid down the final bits of our plans for our European Vacation! It's coming with a very, very hefty price tag (in fact, biggest chunk of cash I've ever spent in my life at once), but I'm hoping it will be very worth it. Here's the plan in a nutshell (starting in late, late June):

Arrive in Paris, spend 2.5 days (2 nights).
Leave via train to Geneva to visit and stay with friend in Geneva for 2 nights.
Again on the train, this time down to Venice for 2 nights.
Then hop over to Rome, where we stay for (gasp!) 3 whole nights.
Hop on a plane over to Athens for (again) 2 nights. Meeting a friend there who has graciously volunteered to be our full time guide :)
And then back to Rome for a night (didn't realize we'd be going to Greece when we got the tickets, otherwise would have returned home from Athens).

It's a crazy hectic schedule, but we wanted to get a taste of little bit of everything, and maybe find a place we'd like to spend more time at next time we go (whenever that will be).

There will be plenty of pictures of me making mockeries of some of the world's most famous locations and treasures, to be certain. And I plan to come home fat, tired, and happy!
