Hey guys,

Check out the Lonely Planet link I posted under useful links. Just select Europe (obviously) and browse through the different countries. This site has some good basic info on the different countries, plus recommended cities.

Also, I have added a countdown gadget, Google Adsense (which I might take off...) and the map gadget is coming soon!

Blog Planning

Hello friends,

I have been looking into some blog things and found out how to add you as authors of this blog. I just need you to send me the email you used for the 'follow' this blog thing.

For posting pictures I discovered some gadgets that stream/link photos from other sites (picasa, flickr, photobucket, etc.). I am going to check out these sites to find the best one to share our photos on. If you guys have any experience with these sites please share it.

I found some other interesting gadgets that I'll post to the blog later, i.e. a Count down timer, a mapping gadget (I believe...), and Google's AdSense. I figure if we can get enough traffic to this blog we should be able to finance our trip through advertising! Bret and Christina: start planning an advertising and promotions strategy.

Finally I have already added a blog search gadget which will become very useful in about 6 months.

Stage 1 - Trip Planning

Heyo friends,

As per recommendation from Bret, I have created a blog to test the viability of documenting our trip online using blog technology! SO, I will start by displaying the first draft of our trip itinerary. This blog is open for anyone to comment on, and I will find out more info in terms of posting photos, having multiple authors, mapping the destinations we will go, etc... In the mean time, please comment on the itinerary posting any city or sight you want to see in Europa and I will add them in!
