Intro Part 2

Eurotrip!

The phrase conjures many images of all-night parties, drinking until you hit the ground, and wild sex. (Those images are thanks to the 2004 movie under that title.) But let this serve as a warning: if you're on this blog to hear about these types of activities, go watch the movie instead! It takes less energy on your part and will probably be easier to digest.

On our blog, we have something better than that. We're here to tell you about the escapades of two self-titled nerds on a whirlwind trip through several European nations! You'll hear of adventures, new friends, old relatives, amazing sights, and fantastic experiences. We'll also throw in some advice in case you decide to replicate our trip on your own someday.

I'm Derek (known by the alias phprogrammer) and as my esteemed comrade said below, we are embarking on a quest of epic proportions. You're not only invited along, you're obligated to join us! Over the next month, check back to hear about all of our preparations. Then, after September 12th, the stories will start rolling in, along with photographs (pics or it didn't happen, right?) to make it seem like you're traversing the canals of Venice or cheering the matador firsthand!

We're going to take Europe by force. And it is going to be a WICKED time.
