Wanderlust...

Although it is barely an hour later, I find myself having a new post for the new day...

I want to travel again.

I know this is silly because I had such a difficult time leaving on my last trip.

But I am now debating between:

Italy and the Mediterranean during WInter Break (which is probably the only time I'd consider going to that region due to the fact that I am CRANKY when I am hot)(with the same company I went with before)

Returning to Russia in the Summer and spend two weeks cruising the rivers, (with the "grown up" version of the company I went to Russia with)

And a tour with Cosmos called Imperial Capitals which goes to England, Drives through France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

and between about a million other places...

I know I want to go to Hungary and the Czech Republic. There is also a tour that specifically visits the castle of Vlad the Impaler which I would really want to see, but would not go on a special tour just to see it unless it went other places I want to go.

There is another company I heard from other COntikis about that just drives you from one place to the next in Europe.... Which I just looked up and I may have found the tour of my dreams... It hits both Hungary and the Czech Republic and it visits both Auschwitz and Birkenau which (although it may sound horrible) I would find fascinating to visit.

This traveling concept bears pondering....
