Finalized Plans, kind of

Catie and I booked hostels today. Firstly, I'm very proud because we managed to figure it out so we're equal in terms of who's spending what for both the Scotland/N. England trip and for the Christmas trip. Secondly, we've got a flight and places to stay and everything! We're really going! Anyway, here's the layout so far (I know you find this riveting):

London 13 Dec.
Madrid 14-16 Dec. (2 nights)
Cordoba 16 Dec.
Grenada 16-17 Dec. (1 night)
(night train to Valencia)
Valencia 18-19 Dec. (1 night)
Barcelona 19-23 Dec. (4 nights)
Montpellier 23 Dec.
Marseille 23-26 Dec. (3 nights)
Nice 26-28 Dec. (2 nights)
Monaco 28 Dec.
Genoa 28-30 Dec. (2 nights)
Bologna 30 Dec.-1 Jan. (2 nights)
(Florence, Rome, Cinque Terra, Venice, Ravenna? 2-7 Jan. We have to hear back from Catie's family yet. But Florence, Rome, and Cinque Terra seem to be definites, and I really really really hope we can get to Ravenna. Byzantine mosaics and Dante's tomb? What could be better?)
Bern 7-8 Jan. (1 night)
Dijon 8-9 Jan. (1 night)
Paris 9-13 Jan. (4 nights)
Home 13 Jan.

So, yeah. I'm excited.
