Okay, so here is the beginning of our “to do” list for getting ready to travel off to Europe… (I cannot wait!)

• Set a monthly budget
• Figure out best way to fly – once we are there it looks like there are pretty inexpensive flights to different countries
• Plan a loose itinerary – we want to be able to make changes if necessary but understand we should book lodging and air
• Homeschooling
• Car rental
• Animals (European Pet Passport)
• Cell phones and internet
• Storage costs for our furniture and cars (should we sell a car or two?)
• Travel and health insurance
• Set up all bills on electronic banking

There will be more things that come up, I am sure, but this is what I have for now.  As we go through these items I will blog about how we work it out.

We are planning on visiting several countries; France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and England.

I feel so lucky that I have a chance to do something like this, oh boy!  Here we go….
