This is a very condensed trip and I know we won't have enough time to see everything as deeply as we would like, but our main purpose is to give the kids a flavor and an overview of the region and whet their appetite to go back someday. We could spend weeks in each of the major cities that we are only staying one day, but it is all we could manage. We are all counting down the days until we leave. The books are chosen, set aside, and arranged. The clothes are not.

I'm taking my laptop and several of our hotels will have free wireless internet, so I will hopefully post a few pictures along the way.
