What's your attitude to hostels Fobulous - are you in the right age bracket to find them enjoyable?
I ask because you and your wife could usually share a private room at about half the cost of hotels, and have all the benefits of meeting other travelers, hearing their advice, and getting recommendations from knowledgeable hostel staff.
I've been in Europe for the last 2 months in Ukraine, Poland, Germany, and now the Czech Republic. Tomorrow I head for Hungary before moving on to Austria. My experience so far suggests that it is possible to take in a lot in a very short period of time in Europe, particularly if you're not big on museums, and particularly if you're able bodied and keep on the move. I managed to circumnavigate all of the old city in Dresden in a 4 hour break (on foot) while waiting for a connecting train to Prague. By bike, it's possible to get around even a larger city like Prague in a single day.
You may also want to check out UNESCO to see what world heritage sites are on your route. It would be a shame to miss them.
