OK .. Bridget refers to Bridget Jones from "Bridget Jones Diary" and Michael refers to Michael Palin from "Around the world in 80 days".

Preparations:

Which cities? Which cities? What will i do in each city? What do need to do to be able to travel to these cities?? Vaccines, Visas, Food (Veggie!!), Local info, Friends recommendations, Language, Culture, Travel options, Accomodation, Do I pick things to do in each of the cities, or do the touristy bits? Well well well ...

List of cities by recommendations, time, expense. Buy an Ear ring from each city, visit a sacred place, at least one touristy place and take lots and lots of PHOTOS.

Constraints: Time and Budget. Travel to Europe on weekends and further away on short annual leave. Friends and Family .. I will be visiting you!! Spare me a space for sleeping bag and I could be a good cook. hehehehe

All the very best of luck to me!!!
