It seems to me that if there isn't a blank line separating text that it assumes its one paragraph and fills it, like what happened to your posting.

You might try using more blank lines as a separation.
But thats going to make it very long with lots of short lines.

You could consolidate it some, instead of a26-London a27-London, etc

Make it

A26-29 London

I think that it looks good (can't comment about Spain/Greece as I haven't been there). Why the overnight stays in Augsburg?

Augsburg is nice but not that special.

You're skipping over some interesting places in Germany between A'dam and Munich. The Rhine/Mosel cities of Cologne and Trier, and the medieval castles along both rivers are worth 2-3 days. Rick Steves' favorite European Castle is Burg Eltz on the Mosel near Cochem - he's got a photo and a write-up on it at this page:

http://www.ricksteves.com/plan/destinations/europe/castles.htm

So...maybe stop there on the way to Munich instead doing Augsburg.

Or head to the interesting northern Bavarian towns of Rothenburg, Würzburg, Bamberg, and Nuremberg on your way to Munich.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that we are going to Augsburg because I have family that lives there and we will be staying with them for a couple days.

Thanks.
