The number one question I get is "where do I plan to go?." So I put an itinerary together to give everyone a vague idea about where I plan to visit and how much time I intend to spend in each place. It is pretty much guaranteed that I will not follow this schedule, but I do expect to go in the general direction seen below.

I leave May 25th from Dulles airport in Washington D.C. on an overnight flight to London.
