I am making a monk for a coming game. I want to take the steps to get Greater Trip. One of my plans is during a Flurry of Blows, attempt a trip, and get an AoO on them, then continue the flurry. Is this possible?
Also, as a side question, I'm planning on getting Medusa's Wrath. If I open with a Stunning Fist to get them stunned, and get the two free unarmed strikes, can one of those be used to do a trip attempt, in turn allowing for the AoO if that is allowed at all?

Yes, you can take Attacks of opportunity on your own turn. Attacks of Opportunity "refresh" at the beginning of your turn.
Also, consider Vicious Stomp. It's easier to get than Greater Trip, and stacks with it.

Any kind of melee attack can be used to make a trip attempt, so yes.

Awesome, thank you!

I was considering Vicious Stomp, but I would rather use my character's weapon. I'm giving him an Oversized Bastard Sword, and Crusader's Flurry, so I can basically do Cloud's Omnislash with it. The Stunning Blow Set up with the Medusa's Wrath Trip would lead to the Attack of Opp that starts the slicing and dicing lol.

+1
You can make an AoO whenever someone you threaten provokes it.
