Revised Travel Info

So I'll probably be reversing that order I mentioned the other day so that I can make it to Oktoberfest in Munich. Oktoberfest actually starts on Sept. 18 and ends Oct. 3, so it's better if I had there after I finish that tour with my family. And I sort of made up a better itinerary so here it is:



Tour with family...

Paris

Amsterdam

Berlin

Prague

Vienna

Salzburg

Munich

Venice

Greece

Rome

Florence

Nice

Barcelona

Ibiza

Valencia

Madrid

London



I don't know that I'll be able to do all of those, but that's the plan as of now.

Travel Information

First of all, if any of you have like a week off and can join me, please do. That would be awesome. I'm gone from September 1st through October 28th and the last six weeks of that I'll be going solo. Let me know where you want to go and I'll meet you up (I have an unlimited Eurail pass so I think, given proper notice, I can make it to wherever you are).



For those of you interested, this is the itinerary I have thus far:



Sept. 1: Depart San Jose, CA (12:10PM)

Sept. 2: Arrive London Gatwick, United Kingdom (9:00AM)



From here I'm on a tour with my family for two weeks visiting various countries.



Sept. 16: Paris, France



After that, I plan to visit the following cities. I'll probably spend at least 2-3 days in each place with another day for travel. I think for the most part it's in about the right order I plan to follow.



Madrid

Barcelona

Florence

Rome

Venice

Possibly Greece

Austria

Berlin

Possibly Prague

Amsterdam

London



Oct. 28: Arrive San Jose, CA (7:11PM)



So if you can meet me up, that would be awesome. I won't expect anyone but it would still be cool.

So my regular site (www.riskingabsurdity.com/jeng) isn't working properly. I can't post any blogs. Rather than try to fix it and all that, I was lazy and created this new boring one using one of the blogger templates and even using their blogspot. So this is more of a public blog now, too. In any case, I think I'll be posting stuff from here. I wonder if anyone will actually read it.



Oh. And one thing that's cool is you can add comments. So for those of you who want to comment on my adventures, feel free.
Is this crap working yet?

Firstly, congratulations to Jason and Aileen on their wedding.



Secondly, everybody chant:



"CHRIS' BIRTHDAY! CHRIS' BIRTHDAY!"



Repeat loudly while driving.



Happy birthday, bro.

Damn it. When was the last time you bit your tongue? I was driving on my way home, chewing on a piece of gum and for some reason I bit my tongue. But this time, I bit my tongue hard enough to cut it and produce blood. I've never done that before. Weird.
