questions on road trip.....
Hello, My husband and I are planning a road trip and found your route, it is very close to what we are planning. We just are trying to figure out how to fit Prague into the itinerary. Can you make any recommendations to us? How much did your 2 week road trip cost you, estimate? Thank You! Lindsey
