Now, This year: you do NOT have to take the full 25 day trip. 
You can choose your cities!

Maybe some of you just want the first 3 cities, maybe some of you want the last 4 cities. 
You decide what you want to see. 
The beginning of the trip is relaxed, then the middle gets more "backpackerish fast"(so only real hardcore travelers should do that one).
There is also an option of SOME travelers doing the 5 cities in the middle, and others just hang out in another city, and we all meet in Venice....if you don't want to travel so quickly.
Please think thoughtfully about this "take one" route,  as it seems to fit all the responses I've received about where to travel this summer. 
The cost for this 25 day trip is averaging 4500, with a huge chance of it reaching 5500. 
However, 3 cities would average about 3000. 
So you also have to think about what you can afford. 
We will talk about all of this through out the next few weeks.
There is a meeting scheduled for September 15th. Ask around, to get the secret location.
