London Tickets Bought
by Josh Staiger
I finally took the key step and bought my plane tickets for Europe today.
I'll be leaving Cleveland in the morning on January 14th and arriving in London *very* early the next day. I'll be staying for a month and returning to the US on Feburary 11th.
I'm feeling really excited now that I am officially totally committed to going! I've hardly been able to relax since I finished hitting that purchase button.
This gives me barely a week and a half to plan the details of my trip. Right now, I think that I've narrowed down the countries that I'm going to visit to: Britain, France, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and Ireland. Unfortunately this leaves out Italy and Spain, two places that I would *really* like to visit, but the way I see it, of the four *big* countries on my list (Britain, France, Italy, and Spain), it is better to pick two to concentrate on and really enjoy, rather than spread myself thin trying to see them all without really appreciating any one. For this trip Britain and Fance are the two "gimmies." The other countries fit very well into the mix for a nice, well-rounded trip.
First I need to sleep, then tomorrow I need to hit the books.
Looks like I'll be seeing you soon, Xtina! :)
