Thus far, we have taken the "come what may" approach to our European adventure. In that spirit, we have a basic itinerary, with lodging reservations in (almost) every location, but we do not have a single entry on our list of things to do once we get there, other than "explore ___." (If you know us well, you know which one of us was NOT very involved in trip-planning.) This approach has its definite perks--we get the thrill of discovery, the flexibility to deal with sleep and weather, and the freedom to change our minds. However, we would hate to spend a month in some of the most beautiful and historic places on earth and miss the highlights. Therefore, we're taking last-minute suggestions from all you veteran travelers of things to do while we're there.
Our basic itinerary:
Sept. 8-11: London, England
Sept. 12-13: Interlaken, Switzerland
Sept. 14-15: Gimmelwald, Switzerland
Sept. 16: Completely open - Somewhere nearby in Switzerland or Italy
Sept. 17-20: Cinque Terra, Italy
Sept. 21-24: Siena, Italy
Sept. 25-28: Assisi, Italy
Sept. 29-30: Completely open - Somewhere near Assisi or Venice
Oct. 1-3: Venice, Italy
Oct. 4-8: London, England
We'd greatly appreciate any suggestions in the comments!

Test.
Hope you're off to a great start and are finding a decent place in DC (or are not and are considering moving to STL instead). The Tower of London is cheesy touristy but not to be missed. And I would definitely look into London Walks tours (www.walks.com 2 hour walking tours on any topic you can imagine) while you're there. I'll email you with the rest of my list of suggested must-sees.
So excited to know we'll be able to track your adventures!
You should consider Lausanne for that extra day in Switzerland. I visited yesterday, and it was an amazing place. I shall tell you more about it tomorrow!
How about somewhere in Austria for the 16th? This is part of Italy but looks REALLY cool Trieste. Waoa! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trieste Maybe for the in between time in Italy go to some remote part of Tuscany and tour the wine country OR go over and see a resort town for the Italians on the Adriatic Sea.
