I suppose some are going to say you are seeing too many cities.

Ira will almost <b>undoubtedly</b> ask you why you are &quot;skipping Venice?&quot;

A few others might say you are spending too many days in Barcelona (which I sort of aree with..I'd add an extra night in Prague).

But I don't see anything crazy about it.

Hi J,

I agree with Dukey, add a day to Prague and subtracr a day from Barcelona.

Why are you skipping Venice?

There are 3 airlines that fly VCE/BCN

See www.whichbudget.com

I'm not a big Barcelona fan, but I think you are spending too much time here. I'd go for 3-4 days, and add the extras to Prague (though I've never been to Prague, it seems there is a ton to see and many good daytrips).

Your title makes me curious, which part of this is what you think perhaps is &quot;crazy&quot;? I don't see anything glaringly obvious that fits that description in your plan.

the &quot;crazy&quot; I am talking about is the travel time between cities...knowing the state of the world that we live in....travelling ANYWHEREEEEE now-a-days is more about waiting...and hassle...than it was before....period...
