Travel Update

Tomorrow I leave for Paris tomorrow night.  We are taking a coach overnight and should arrive around 7:30ish.  I'm hoping to post either tonight or tomorrow after class before my trip about this past week so far.  Sunday night you can expect a full update on my magical end to February in Paris.  At least I hope it will be magical.  For updates throughout the weekend check out my twitter at www.twitter.com/rachel_y.

We have been planning a lot of travel in the past week.  It's about time really.  We only have a limited amount of time in Europe and we need to use it to the fullest.  This is the the schedule so far...

February 26-28: Paris, France
March 5: Day trip to Cardiff, Wales
March 26-28: Dublin, Ireland
April 2-11: Spring Break - decided but unbooked
April 16: School trip to Canterbury
April 23-25: Edinburgh, Scotland
April 30: School trip to Brighton
May 6-8: Barcelona, Spain

Still in the works are possible trips to Vienna, Austria, Berlin Germany, and Rome, Italy.

Sound like a lot of travel?  It is, but I have to make use of my time here.  I'm excited to kick off this season of travel this weekend.  We plan to see all the touristy stuff like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Le Louvre, the Arc de Triumph, and hopefully Versailles.  Expect lots of pictures.

This will be my first experience in Europe traveling to a non-english speaking country.  Wish me luck.  I know how to say "Hello, I am called Rachel", "Thank You", and "I don't speak French."  I will try my best to take videos and create a collage video for here.

I will start my next post now and not leave it all for tomorrow when I should be packing and getting things together for the trip.

Pip Pip Cheerio!
