Vacation Plans

In just a few days, Tim and I will be embarking on our three week journey to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Now that school is out, I'm hope to spend some time researching the places we're planning to go. I'm also planning on spending some time packing, since I'll only be allowed to take one bag for three weeks, I think my packing will take some practice to get everything to fit. Here is the trip plan Tim has been working on.
