It's Finally Time To Go!

So, here I am 3 days before our departure for Europe feeling overwhelmed at the next 4 1/2 months spread before me. It's a long time to travel and a lot to plan for! I have tried to do a lot of planning because I'm the kind of person who likes to have everything mapped out and organized before I go anywhere. At this point however I think it's pretty much impossible to do that for this trip! It makes me nervous, but I think in a way it's a good thing. It'll give me a chance to be a little more spontaneous and maybe live life more in the moment! I've been dreaming about this trip for so long that I'm excited to get this trip underway and to immerse myself in the history, people and culture of this amazing continent that my ancestors called home. I'll be spending some quality time with my little sister Christine as we travel along, get to visit some relatives in Germany, meet up with friends and hopefully make some new ones as well! We're going to see castles, mountains, museums, beaches and everything in between so I think I'm going to enjoy taking the long way around!
