Well I just got back from my Romania/London trip: And I forgot to mention a couple of things, like Greenwich village and the Prime Meridian. The Meridian was cool, but the park and the Museum of Space were cooler, as well as the boat trip to the village. There was also this really cool Greenwich market that I went to. That was on Wednesday, the boat trip came with the bus tour. I also got a bit sunburned, it was hot that day. [View Full Entry]

Beachside! Europe » Spain » Catalonia » Barcelona
So this last weekend I headed out for Barcelona and the BEACH! I never used the beach at home, but I have taken it for GRANTED. I missed it so much, it was nice just to lay out and tan and jump in the water when it got too hot. Lovely :). Side note: I also visited the Prado last week. What an awesome museum! It was so huge (i got lost...) and just so much to see, I loved it!. So I got to Barcelona Friday night at like 11. Basically i just went to my hotel and relaxed before [View Full Entry]

Alright my friends, Back to Paris! But this time for a grand adventure in DISNEYLAND! Of course, you can send the girl out of the Disneyland, but you cant send the Disneyland out of the girl...or something like that. Anyway lets start at the begining. The Hotel: OMGWAYNICERTHANTHEOTHERPAIRSONE! 4 star. Audrey freaked me out saying there was a crazy sex trade going on in France right now, and since I didn't want to live scenes from Taken, and as I don't have a Liam Neeson ex-cia agent for a father, I figured I should play it safe and get a nice [View Full Entry]

I have learned that my Spanish is improving. One hour talking with a ticket sales person about traveling and all in Spanish! hell yeah, I am officially a badass. So I haven't updated in a while, so I thought a would. Truth is, I haven't been doing much other than hanging out with the boys and days in Madrid. But I will update on what has gone on. I was feeling really sad about missing the Orange County fair, and what do you know!? There's a fair here too! It's no where near as awesome as Orange or L.A. county's but [View Full Entry]

Welcome my friends to Paris...Here have a flower on me...Forget where you're from, you're in France, children come!I'll show you that French "Joie de Vivre!" I just got back from Paris. What a city! I absolutely loved it there. And this time I didn't forget the good camera! To start: I learned that French people aren't very patient, that there's too much to see in that city, that as a young girl traveling alone I should probably splurge on nicer hotels if only for my peace of mind, and that if i lived in France I would be 400 pounds. I [View Full Entry]

First a disclaimer: I totally forgot my good camera this weekend so I only had the point and shoot with the smallest memory card possible.... so sorry, but the pictures aren't that nice today. A couple of things I have learned: The costumer service in Madrid is not very helpful, but the cops are, so if you are lost you're better off asking the police. They like to wear clothing with English on them, but the translations are often bad. For example I saw a guy on the metro wearing a shirt that said "is the glass half empty, or half [View Full Entry]

Well I took off on Friday, nervous and excited. I hate planes so I had to deal with a 13 hour flight ahead of me. I was not excited about that part. And I was nervous about the whole, "hey guess what you have to speak Spanish all the time now" thing. But I was on my way to Europe! For the first time! The flight to Paris was uneventful, despite the fact that I was flying AirFrance. I took a couple of sleeping pills but they did NOTHING! I was awake almost the whole time. So instead of sleeping I [View Full Entry]

Well I have done it. My tickets are finally purchased, for both the flight and the railpass. I can't believe it! I have been waiting to buy those ticket for so long. Now all I have to do is get the amazing camera, buy European plugs and pack... I cant wait for school to be out, this summer is going to be quite the adventure. :) [View Full Entry]
