The other day I was telling a co-worker about my internship in Florida, which got me thinking about all my friends from that summer, which made me realize I need to see them! Which prompted me to see what a plane ticket to Germany is running these days, relatively cheap!! I saw some between $500-700! That's crazy considering what I'm paying for my flight to S. Africa and everything. So it hit me that going to see them is definitely a reality. I texted Megan and said, "Do you wanna go to Europe next summer?" She texted back, "Yes, and I'm not kidding."
So we're in the thinking/planning stages. And I'm so excited. And I hope it really happens and nothing comes up that conflicts with this trip. So we're looking at summer 2009, likley a 4ish week trip, backpacking Europe. Our wish list at the moment is Germany, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Sweden, France, Italy, Greece. Now we just need to research and fine tune the priorities, time frames and things like that. Thank God for the internet! How the hell did people do anything prior to the internet? So we'll be staying hostels (which is cheap and supposedly a great way to meet other travelers), likley taking the eurorail all over the place, and I have already been in touch with my friends in Germany who obviously have places for us to stay and friends we can stay with if we're not in their cities. And who knows, they might even have friends in other countries we could stay with as well. We'll see! But I'm excited.
Possible plan for 2010: Egypt! This one's with Ivan though :) His dream place and seems pretty excellent to me too.
