Actually, its a huge misconception that you can just jump to another country outside the Schengen zone for a quick trip and be fine upon re-entry.

The truth is that you have 90 days when you visit one of the Schengen zone countries, then you can return after another 90 outside of the zone. So that's 90 days in and 90 days out and only then, are you legally permitted to travel in the Schengen for another 90 days. The good thing for most travelers, is that this is almost never inforced. Although, some countries are more strict than some - Germany, for example.

So, be careful following this advice, which isn't really correct, because it can get you in trouble, but it most likely won't.
