Finalizing Plans

I am getting so excited to leave for Europe

and my family too of course,

we can't wait!!

We're lucky enough to be making a few stops along the way
before I make my way over to London for the study abroad
so I'll have to start by telling about those little trips, of course!
However for now we are still preparing.

I bought a railroad ticket yesterday and booked a night at a youth hostel

so I'm feeling pretty savvy and European

...(even though in my heart I am nervous I'll get robbed or worse

cause I have NEVER traveled by myself--

let alone in a foreign country)

This is how old I feel

JK for reals-- I'm gonna be fine.

 At least everyone will speak English:) 

So... down to the main point.

Stop #1 for the trip will be...

GREECE!!

Gorgeous country!!

We'll spend most of our time on the beach

and maybe make a trip or two to see the old Greek ruins or whatnot

I'll tell you more about it once we get there,

Oh ya, and this was cool!

 I got a message yesterday my friend Mike;

a very nice boy whom my family met while canyoneering in New Zealand.
(Mike also turned out to be MORMON, whaaat? We were delighted!!)

Anyway Mike told me that one of the other river guides, a Greek man named Panos

owns his own River-touring company in Greece!!

My Sisters and I have therefore determined that we WILL find that place--

it's just too cool of a coincidence!

Panos might think we are stalking him...

haha! Well maybe we are!
