Talk about this trip (2)
I have visited some of these places before, but never as an adult on a girls getaway! I'm so excited to revisit some places, and to see new places. I would love to do some things throughout the trip that are spontaneous and not super "touristy". If anyone knows of any great things to see, or a great restaurant/bar/whatever, let me know! We're not stuck in any particular travel plans, other than a general route we're traveling, and cities we want to visit! Thanks!
