The px 10 is a legendary bike. I'd keep it even if i got something else for touring. Are there better bikes to tour Europe on….sure….but I’ve used a similar Rene Herse with a big canvas handlebar bag for lots of riding throughout France over the years since I was a teen and enjoyed the adventures. Hoping you have a great trip!!!!!....and let us know about your blog before you leave!!!!....wordpress is a good choice too, you can also embed vimeo or youtube videos to it and save the bandwidth of uploading directly to wordpress.
Anne Mustoe wrote some wonderful books about her riding adventures. “A Bike Ride” and “Lone Traveller” are my favorites.
The Women on Wheels site has some inspiring moments of world bike journeys by women.
Crazyguyonabike has some good journals and a women’s section

Oh this is great thanks so much guys! Yes! I know Anne Mustoe - very good. I've not heard of women on wheels nor crazyguyonabike but that seems like exactly what I'm looking for I'll check it out asap!
With regards to the bike.. I know.. my budget is just so small! But I love love love the Kona Dew Plus - I've got a friend who's really into this stuff and he'll know what to do, I've sent him a link. Be a real change from my current ride, but it's good to shake things up
