Our ever changing summer plans. . .

So, our summer plans are in flux. We are in a (hopefully) unique position where both of us will be free during the summer, me with no job, and Rick on vacation. Rick has to teach until the end of June, so our first plan was to head to Provincetown, hopefully get a job or two waitering, cocktail waitering, etc. and living the good life on the gay, gay beach. I had visions of dancing the night away with drag queens, biking shirtless down Commercial St. and checking out all the hotties, taking Kippy for runs on the beach, and just live simply with Rick.

Will we go? Its future is in limbo.

However, Rick was invited to apply to be a mentor for the New York City Teaching Fellows, NYC's crash course for new teachers. It's a sweet gig that pays $50/hour, and Rick knows someone on the selection committee so he has a great shot at making it. At first I was upset that our Ptown plans would be dashed, and I will still be miserable if I have nothing to do all day during July.

HOWEVER, since we will still have the majority of August with nothing to do, we are finally going to take our honeymoon, one year later. So, our plan as of now is a trip to Europe! Our itinerary changes daily, but this is how it's stacking up so far: We have roughly 3 weeks, (NYC still has not published when school will start in the fall, and I'm hoping it's more like 4 weeks) so we are basically planing the first half in cities and the second half in naturey places (read: the beach). So check out the map.

Were planning on flying to Copenhagen, where we'll send our one year anniversary! From there take the train to Berlin for 3 or 4 days. Then it's off to Praha so Rick can reconnect with his Czech roots where we'll stay with my old friend Saro from highschool. Hopefully we'll meet some nice Bel Ami boys there as well. Next its off to Vienna for some wiener schnitzle and a drink at a fabulous cafe. We'll eventaully bid auf wiedersehen to Austria and boun giorno to Italy when we get to Venice. From there we'll head east, bumming our way down the Croatian coast, hopefully ending up in Split. We'll then cross the Adriatic Sea and make our way to Rome, where we'll fly out of. Sound ambitious? Maybe. But as I said, it's a very preliminary plan, and certainly some things will change.

Do you guys have advice? Suggestions? Places we simply can't miss or an amazing hotel or secret B&B that we'll love? Let me know!!
