ok-so whoever looks at this...the top items are potential places we could visit. the bottom is a very rough agenda including points of interest i've found online. i tried to match up places of interest (poi)with our rough timeline of dates. lauren, i think if we find more poi in the travel books it will be easier to look for them here..what do you think? the difficult part is searching by city without knowing which cities we want to go to, especially in ireland. add whatever poi you want!

lauren...if you search from this site and click add item then you can add it to our itinerary...i was trying to add our dates in here but it was more difficult b/c i had to select places we want to go and then put the dates in after the place is selected. i hope this makes sense..mb

Hello! So far it looks pretty good. You have Belfast in there, which is northern ireland which is part of the UK. I don't really want to go there too much. Especially if we're going to London as well. I'd rather spend more time in western ireland or an extra day in switzerland. I'll begin adding! I think we made a lot of progress yesterday!
