It's a Small World After All?

Looking at Europe on a map makes it look small and easy to travel. This perspective changes that just a wee bit!

FREAK OUT!

There's only about 1.5 months until we leave for the trip.

Did I mention that we aren't even half way done planning it out yet?? Just thinking about it makes me stress out a little bit (it's pretty bad when you start having dreams), but we will hopefully be getting it done before we leave.

On a more exciting note- we have now received our railpasses. It's such a huge relief to have all of our major expenses out of the way now. All I have to do is keep saving up my money and once I move in to Jesse's beach house for the summer that should hopefully help out in that arena.

Everything seems so close. It's really weird how the closer it gets the more vivid my imagination about what it will be like becomes. I guess it's as if I'm coming to realize that this is actually going to happen. It's a pretty amazing feeling to have a long held dream come to fruition after so much work and energy. I amaze myself that I actually followed through with it and made it happen. So, far that's one of the most rewarding aspects of my trip- even though it hasn't even started (and if I wanted to get super philosophical I guess I could say the whole experience has be a journey...blah, blah, blah...). Anyways, this trip is the product of all of my research, work, and passion (not to say I haven't had tons of support and help along the way!) and it blows my mind that we actually did it! YAY!

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

I'M SO EXCITED!!!
