Europe is a go!

I know that it has been a few months since my last blog but lets be honest, I am not on the trip yet and I don't lead an extra exciting life. Since my last post I have finished my degree in education and I am now organizing my life to fit into a 7x7x9 box, informing all of the people with their hands in my pockets that I am leaving, and getting the 'all clear' from my physician. In addition that significant list of things to do I purchased my tickets for the second leg of my trip. :)

After returning from Australia to Canada in the third week of April (during which I hope to visit, rest and do laundry) I leave once more during the last week of April to London. We are spending a week there before taking a 20 day tour of eastern Europe! This tour is done through Topdeck and will enable us to see ten countries during this whirlwind adventure.

Once we are done that and get our bearings we get to travel Italy for almost two weeks, in which we will most likely get lost, then find ourselves, then get lost again. Once we figure everything out we hop over to Greece to do an Island tour for ten, hopefully beautiful, days. After that we still have to decide where to go, options are plentiful and include places like Sweden but please feel free to suggest other options.

From that undecided location we are off to Ireland. Unfortunately too soon I will have to say goodbye to my travelling companion and continue my exploration on my own for three more weeks until my final return on July 26th.

My next post will most likely be the day before I leave on January 11th after that I will try to update this site weekly (assuming that I will have internet access). This means my posts will actually have information on the places and exciting adventures I will be on instead of the idle writings of an antsi-traveller. So farewell for now and to all of those in my life, "thanks for all the fish"!
