...because walking there would take too long.

...because Jen is not a fan of hitchhiking in foreign countries.

We want to spend 3 nights in London - at the Palmer's Lodge - Swiss Cottage Hostel.

We love this bubbly, and the region is conveniently located in Northern Italy. We will stay at the Locandi Inn, participate in a little agrotourism and enjoy this region for 3 days.

There will need to be a bottle or two brought home - to drink on our 1 yr & 10 yr (ok maybe sooner than 10 - but that's the idea).

One of Jonathan's favorite places in Germany. We plan to wile away our days by sleeping in, then hiking in the mountains and packing a picnic. Staying 3 nights at Schwabenwirt.

Apparently the place to honeymoon in Germany. We plan to take a break from hostels and backpacking. Two days to sit on the sand, check out the cliffs and castle.

The Ruhr Piano festival in Germany is one of the most prestigious....I'm hoping that with a little German Beer Jonathan will grow to love piano and the symphony as much as I do...Virtuouso Denis Matsuev will be playing on July 3rd

As self-proclaimed foodies...we want to try fish & chips at London Fish & Chips, the special of the day at Books for Cooks and bangers and mash at Chimes.

Jonathan's newest hobby/passion. London went from 2 breweries in 1999 to over 50 today. We're going to check out The Five Points Brewing Co. & Sambrooks.

16 characters....11 scenes.... You can take selfies with the characters - I'm in!

Humongous ferris wheel....yes, please.

Underground...300+ km per hour...sounds like a great time.

One of Jen's favorite places in the world! We will stay in a pension and tour these 5 secluded cities along the coast of Northern Italy.

Wine tasting for two at the top of a hill in Cinque Terre. After a 15 minute hike up the steep hill out of Monterosso we will be treated to the region's sweet white wine, limoncello and a few snacks.

Just 2 hours from our home away from home in Cinque Terre. Beautiful vineyards, trails to bike, and a UNESCO world heritage site. Yay history nerds!

Berlin cult classic...Jonathan swears it must be visited this time around - and we will have to bring home a bottle or two of curry ketchup.
