The plane ticket purchases have started, and this is the present list of countries I'll be visiting, in order. If you have any tips or things that I must do while in an area (particularly if it's not in any guidebook), please add a comment. I know so many of my friends are well-traveled and have great tips, and not just for my trip.
I leave June 9th for Dublin, and return August 13th from Luxembourg.

Dublin (3)
Cork/Kinsale/Cobh (2)
Belgium (3)
Berlin (4)Budapest (4)
Krakow (2)
London (2)
Malawi (8)
Zurich/Bern/Swiss Alps (5)
Munich (3)
Salzburg (1)
Vienna (2)
Istanbul (6)
Amsterdam (3)
Helsinki (2)
Estonia (3)

Thanks!
