Itinerary: Visually

I'm not so much for reading, so this post includes a visual of our general route. Picking a route was not easy: the transportation, the cities or the ordering!

In the beginning, the blueprint included a baffling bunch of buses and boats, between both blights (Bristol) and beauties (Bath, Berlin and Barcelona). But Jenn bemoaned as base the banter birthed of such a plan... so, we ditched the "B" cities and the "B" transportation in favour of trains and planes.

We cut Spain out of our travel plans and put a lot of southern France in. M. Bobby, your efforts as a teacher (and ours as students!) will be put to the test!

And yes, like the true nerds we are (and the true C&O student she is), we did analyze our itinerary in the context of the travelling salesman problem. "Visiting" all the cities on Wikitravel was discarded as an inelegant, if efficient, solution.

I believe April only has 30 days and unlike the tables in microsoft word I don't believe the toolbar allows you to insert another day in the month.
