Itinerary

---

I have completed my itinerary with time estimates and everything.

I have also bought my ticket! This means I'm going, definitely going. The idea is kind of daunting, but exciting beyond imagination. I found a deal at statravel.com for 575 US dollars including all taxes and fees. I'll be flying in and out of Europe via London Gatwick Airport. Flight leaves Philadelphia on May 19th, 2008... 8 days after I graduate from college. I return 3 months later on August 6th.

Because I'll be flying in and out of London, I decided to split my stay in London between my first few days and my last. It's the biggest city in Europe! I don't want to miss anything! I'll arrive in London real early on Tuesday May 20th. My plan from there is as follows:
