A New Journey Begins...

By -
          Four years later and I am about to board another flight to Europe. This trip will be a little different then the last. This time there is more structure and a round trip ticket involved. Don't get me wrong I still have less of an intinerary then the average bear, but there is an actual mission to accomplish. You see I am off to see my brother and sister in law who I have not seen in a year and a half. They are currently serving as missionaries in Germany, the selfless people that they are. I am flying in (or trying to) and visiting with them for the first weekend. Then it is backpacking time yet again, but just for a week and a little more structered. I won't give away the whole trip in the first post (there has to be a cliff hanger to keep you coming back for more of course).
              Earlier I said trying to fly because I am sitting in the Madison Airport currently with an hour delay on my first plane. I scheduled my planes so well that just an hour delay makes me late for my second plane. Which means I am stuck in Detroit for a day. Don't get me wrong, being put up in a hotel by the Airline and dinking around sounds like a blast. But this means one less night with my bro and sis in law.
So cross your fingers that my next plane is delayed or its the gate over or this plane is super speedy... just something! For I am going to get wine drunk waiting in Detroit or on Airfrance, and I would rather the later. In the mean time check out the awesome new luggage my Madre got me for the trip and for my adult life. The plant is a ruse to make you think the airport is a fabolous place to be stuck in.
Bon Voyage Madison... I'll see you in a week.

    Okay so i tried to comment before and it said I was an unknown.... I am not an unknown. THen I tried to delete the comment so it wouldn't say unknown, but now the comment is deleted and unknown is still there, LITERALLY IN BOLD WRITING, pointing out the fact that I made a mistake. Maybe I should keep this unknown also so you dont know how much trouble I'm having leaving a stupid comment xD IN ANY CASE super excited to hear more about your traveling pal. Hopefully everything with flights and getting wine drunk worked out for you :)

Continued Airport Rambling

    Alright, so Im at the airport and still with out internet access. I figure I should just keep writing though as it will make people happy with all these updated blog stuff. But I did finally get around to buying a book to read and pretty much throw out when Im done, I caved and bought the book One Day which is what the movie is based on, even though I try not to buy ones where I know what happens. Technically though I have only seen the preview so I don't fully know what happens. Anywho, I should have showed up at the airport a long while ago. This one seems to be the place to be, since almost every place possibly, not excluding on the ground, hidden under signs, and any place you can pretty much walk there is a body sprawled out sleeping and the shops are still open so its pretty much a free for all. I am glad though that I went to the museum and show. The musical was pretty kickass. I don't think it ranks very high in my musical list but for the music and everything...

London at the first glance

By -

Sitting in Caffee Nero (the type they use makes the O look like a D so at first I was really excited to go eat at cafe nerd and use their free wifi, oh well) updating and watching all the london folk go about their day. The first thing I noticed when glancing out the window of the airplane was the giant highway going through the rolling acres and the fact that the cars were all on the wrong side. Second was the castle of course. But you have to love it that when you land suddenly the voice over the loudspeaker telling you arrived is a british accented ground crew. I thought they might have been hiding the british stewardess in the back until we got there then let her out as a little surprise.     Customs was fairly easy, specially since that was what I was the most nervous about. I didn't even have to show my fake itinerary. The guy just asked me about school and stuff like that. It did take an hour to get through that line though. And yes I had the 9 hour flight next to...

Alicante in Warp Speed

By -
Alright these are going to be quick over views since I really have to catch up on this blog and get back to being up to date by only a few days and not a couple weeks.         So in summary we had Alicante, Spain. There I met a giant group of students from the university there through a guy I met at the hostel who had a friend apart of the group (just to clear up the how i met people question). Most of the students were from the US but some weren't. All in all I met a bunch of translators for me. Some key points from Alicante were hanging out, going to the beach at night, dancing in the club with some free champagne bottle from the hecklers on the street, and salsaing. As part of their class they had to go to a flaminco show so of course I tagged along. Turns out although it was authentic flaminco it was nothing like what you would think it would be. You would picture girls in long flowing skirts dancing with some guys right? I think this would normally be...
