The above picture has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of my post. :P
My mother and I are leaving for a 10-day trip around Europe starting June 2. I've been booking trains and hotels/hostels over the past couple days. I'm getting pretty excited. :)
I don't want to bore you with the details of my excessive planning, so here are a few of the highlights:
- We're visiting Versailles on our 2nd day in Paris. I've been wanting to visit Versailles ever since I watched Rose of Versailles in high school. (Yeah, I'm lame, shut up. =_=)
- VENICE. My mom's not that into flooding cities, but I really pushed for it. I've wanted to visit Venice ever since I visited the Venetian hotel as a kid. Also, ARIA. ^^;
- We're seeing the Colosseum, bitches.
This will be our first time in Europe. We're basically backpacking & all of our traveling between countries will be via train, including overnight trains. I'm not really worried, since China made me into a pretty hardy traveler. I do wonder how my mother will fare though. ^^;;
Also, I just stumbled upon & downloaded a year-old chapter of the Finder series that I didn't know about before today. I swear, whenever I convince myself that I've read everything that's been released of the Finder series, I always end up discovering something that I somehow overlooked. @_@
EDIT: Oh! And thank you all for the birthday wishes. Much appreciated. ^^
