I hope you don't mind me piggy-backing on your thread, but it looks like it has kind of run its course so I doubt I'll be usurping anyone's discussions.

Next May, I'm looking at traveling with my wife to Prague as part of a marathon tour. That part is easy. My questions start where that tour ends. We also wanted to check out Romania, specifically the Transylvania region. I've been looking at several travel package websites to get an idea of the places to see. One of the things in particular that appeals to us is the overnight train from Budapest to Sighisoara. I'm still in the very early stages, but this is kind of where I'm at right now:

5/9 - Fly from Prague to Budapest, landing around 11pm and grabbing a pre-booked hotel that night.
5/10 - Wake up in Budapest for the day. I have no idea what to see when I only have one day there. Catch the night train at 11:30
5/11 Wake up in Sighisoara at 9-ish. See the sights. Catch a late train to Sibiu.
5/12 Wake up in Sibiu. See the sights. Catch a late train to Brasov.
5/13 Wake up in Brasov. See the sights. Catch a late train to Bucharest.
5/14 Fly home from Bucharest. Flight leaves at 6am so we would obviously have to spend the night in town.

It feels like one town too many in Romania. If I'm going to double up somewhere, my gut tells me I should spend a little more time in Brasov. Which town should I leave out?
Is by train the best way to travel within Romania? Tell me about the trains in Romania.
How is Romania in May?

Thanks for taking the time to reply and congrats on a great honeymoon. This trip for me is on hold for now, but it's still on the bucket list. I appreciate your thoughts.
