Another school year is almost done, but this year I'm not going home. That's sort of a bittersweet feeling. I miss everyone and wish I could see my friends and family, but the reason we're not going heading to Canada is because my husband and I are about to embark on a five-week European summer adventure.
On Friday morning (Thursday night for those of you in N.A.), we're boarding a plane for London. I'm sure I'll write multiple entries on the different legs of our journey once we return, so I won't bore you with all the details now before they even happen. I'll just give the brief rundown for now, in order.
1. Norway: a cruise with Holland America. This will be my first cruise and I'm really looking forward to it!
2. England: London, Dover, Bath, Stonehenge, Lacock, Canterberry, Leeds, and HARRY POTTER STUDIOS!!! Mostly, we will be based in London and doing daytrips.
3. Ireland: renting a car and driving in a large circle around the country, including the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula.
4. Scotland: an adventure bus tour for people 35 and under. We'll be travelling around the whole country and I hope to get a picture of the illusive Loch Ness Monster.
5. The Netherlands: pretty much just hanging out in Amsterdam
6. France: We'll be spending our two year anniversary in one of the most romantic places on earth... Paris.
We're getting from place to place by train, boat, bus, car and plane. Mostly train though, as it is Europe and that's the romantic way to travel.
On our flight back to Hong Kong from Paris (August 17th), I'll be hitting a milestone: 100,000 kilometres travelled by air!
So this may or may not be my last update for a while. This week is looking mighty jam-packed with last minute preparations and then we wont have the internet again until we reach Ireland. At that point, I'll probably be enjoying our vacation and not blogging.
Have a great summer, everyone!!!
