It is time

I've been fairly hardworking for the past year. I think it's time for a break. Planning for a trip to Europe again (this time central/east). Just a quick one with my wife and some other friends. I think it's perfect timing. I'm worn out, and MAS travel fair 2008 is back with cheap tickets.

The basic itinerary is:
Kuala Lumpur --> Rome -->(bus) Bari ---> (ferry) Dubrovnik ---> (flight) Zagreb ---> (bus) Vienna ---> (bus) Prague ---> (bus) Frankfurt ---> (train) Marburg. Then back to KL from Frankfurt.

Will post some research material here from time to time. I've a general idea of getting around on a budget. But there's probably more to it....
