Last Saturday, we got back from 9 days spent in Europe! It was an amazing trip! We got to see so many things, eat lots of different and yummy foods and also got very little sleep (lol!). We were gone for 9 days, 7 in country and 2 spent traveling. We first went to Paris for 1 days, then Greece for 3 days and Rome for 3 days.
Because we were hopping around from country to country a lot, I only allowed myself to bring one backpack. Looking back, that was literally the greatest thing that I decided because any luggage just would have held us back. There were 2 days when we had to bring all of our stuff with us for the entire day and I couldn't imagine lugging around a rolling suitcase along with my backpack!
