No, not back to Asia. I'm going east across the Atlantic, and then on to Eastern Europe. I'm calling this the "B" trip - Baltics, Bulgaria, Balkans and Budapest. I'm hoping to cool off after my last trip through Asia and the brutal summer we've endured in NC. I'm currently in New York, waiting for Continental to call me back about rescheduling my flights out of Newark on Sunday.

If you'd like to follow me, the TR is starting on the Europe board at: http://www.fodors.com/community/euro...ne-baltics.cfm and I'll be blogging at mytimetotravel.wordpress.com and tweeting as mytimetotravel.

Thanks for the "heads up" - I love following your travels!

Have a great time

i'll be reading... allow extra time in tallin

Have a great time. This summer has been brutal here in Florida. We leave in 2 weeks for brutal heat in India!

We enjoyed Tallin, but if you can get to Riga and Vilnius - those are even more interesting. Tallin is very touristy...almost Disney-like.

I'll be following you (in print, that is). Have a great time!

Thanks! I made it to Helsinki ahead of Irene, so will have two extra days here.

Have a good time in India, dgunbug.

Good for you. I'll be following your new adventure with great interest. Safe travels.

What's the itinerary and how long will you be traveling?

Take a look at her trip report on the Europe board, linked above her in original post.

Thanks Kathie.

It was 111 yesterday in Austin with no end in sight to the heat. India might be better!

Safe travels, thursdaysd!

Posting from the road didn't go so well on this trip, and I made it home while the TR still had me in Bulgaria. I wasn't feeling too good the last part of the trip, but I'm doing a bit better now, and am working on my photos and on finishing up the TR. I just started the third section, on the Western Balkans, here: http://www.fodors.com/community/euro...rn-balkans.cfm
