An 8 City Eurafrican Vacation Playlist

As I mentioned yesterday, I'm gearing up for a long overdue vacation with my wife. Just the two of us. Both sets of grandparents are coming up to take shifts watching the kids while we're gone (believe me, I know how lucky I am). We'll be touring 8 cities -- some are favorites we are returning to and others will brand new experiences. I thought I would see what kind of playlist I could put together by selecting a single song named for each of the eight cities on our itinerary. Just like the vacation itself, some of these are old friends and some are new to me. And by all means, if you have any tourist suggestions for these cities, let me know!
