The following is the itinerary for E08. We had worked out most of the high level details before the trip. Despite some unexpected situations, we managed to follow the itinerary pretty well.
May 17-20th - Barcelona + Montserrat, Spain
May 20-21st – Carcassonne, France
May 21-22nd – Marseille, France
May 22-26th – Nice + Cannes, France + Monaco
May 26-28th – Milano + Lake Como, Italy
May 28th-June 1st – Venezia + Verona + Trieste, Italy.
We truly picked an awesome set of places to visit, and in many ways, the timing could not have been more perfect. Overall, I’d say we spent pretty much the right number of days in each place. Many thanks to all the awesome input I received from various people, who help tweaked the schedule. In hindsight, the only place I would have loved to stay for a few more days would be the French Rivera region (Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Côte d’Azur). But given the time constraints, I would have stuck to the same schedule again.
A random trivial tidbit that BlueOrca suggested I record. Combined total between BlueOrca and me were 12,316 photos + videos, coming out at 96.8GB. Breakdown by day is as follows: 317,435,761,1021,975,1127,768,878,1269,1073,287,1153,487,798.

I noticed you didn't go to any of the more popular tourist spots. Was that on purpose?
Um...
Wow.
