Vacation Planning

I haven't posted on here in quite a while because I have been extremely busy with school, work, family stuff, working on the house, and planning our next (much-needed) vacation. I will try to keep updating, but you know how it is when you're busy!

Anyway, we have finally booked our plane tickets from the US to Europe and from Dublin to Prague, as well as our hotels in each city. I set up a budget for ourselves and we were able to not only stay with the budget but come up almost $500 under budget for our hotels. When we look for hotels, we have very strict criteria. They have to be $150 a night or less (which is hard to do in Europe), have free breakfast, and be in the center of he city. It is also a plus if there is free wireless internet and a safe box in the room. Once we find the hotels that fit this criteria, we check out the reviews on tripadvisor to make sure they are clean, legit, and in good areas of the city. I'm sure this sounds really crazy to some of you, but when you fly halfway across the world to a city you have never been to, you want to make sure you don't end up in a bug-infested motel in a bad part of town!

Anyway, here is where we are staying:

Dublin

Prague

Munich

Venice
