Wrapping up the planning stage

So, we're inside two weeks to lift off on this trip.  It's my third sabbatical with eBay and my second trip to Europe with the whole family.   If you're really interested in you review my notes from my first sabbatical road trip or last European adventure.

This trip again features a large amount of driving and adds three ferry crossings and significant driving in left-hand drive countries for bonus points.

After a short stop over in the Midwest for my nephew's wedding, we're flying into Lisbon, picking up a car there after a few days and then turning it in in London, spending the better part of week there and then returning.  In broad strokes (and two maps since Google Maps limits the number of waypoints...) The route looks like this:

 

It's starting to seem more real.  Yesterday, I packed my bag and validated that I can fit what I need in the size bag I'm willing to carry.

I'm really looking forward to this trip.
