I recently passed my ARE exams and sent my application to the state board to become a licensed architect. It feels great to finally have this done and to complete the goal I set for myself, but now what? I had so much purpose and drive to become registered, and now I'm not sure where to put that energy or what the next goal for myself should be within architecture. I wasn't sure if anyone else has this feeling after becoming registered, and what were your next goals you set yourself?

This is my first international trip with my wife. We had a small wedding so we could take a trip we had always dreamed about. When we started planning, we were both overwhelmed by all the interesting things this country has to offer. We both wanted to emphasize wandering through the neighborhoods and exploring while still hitting some of the tourist spots. Most of the days are laid out below, and now we are researching more specific shops and restaurants we want to go to. Any recommendations or input on the itinerary below would be highly appreciated. I don't think I packed it too heavily, but please say otherwise.
