Gearing Up!

After our two days from hell (two midterms on Monday and a paper draft due Tuesday), I finally have something to look forward to.

Tomorrow begins our 10 day fall break and I absolutely cannot wait.

We will begin in Paris, spend two days there, and then head to Geneva, Interlaken, Milan, Venice and then Vienna. The rest of the group I'm traveling with will then go to Prague, but I must head back to London after Vienna to meet my sister who will be visiting me until the 16th! Life couldn't get much better right now.

The coldest place we will be (or at least I will be) is Vienna, where the highs are around 60. Other than that, the weather will range from 65-75! The mild weather will definitely be a welcome change from the chilly weather we've been having here in London as well as the dreadfully cold weather we experienced in Scotland. It actually wasn't all that bad in Scotland but I am definitely a baby when it comes to cold weather. With this being said, I'm quite pleased with the weather forecast for our fall break.

As I've never been to any of the places we're visiting, I'm very anxious to see how every place will be and what they will look like. I'm sure Paris will be spectacular, with the Eiffel Tower and Versailles, but I have to admit I don't really know much about any of the other places we will be visiting. I've heard Geneva isn't that special and that Interlaken, Milan and Venice are beautiful, but I've actually not heard much of anything at all about Vienna. Either way, I'm sure it will be beautiful in it's own respect.

Although it will be a lot of traveling, I couldn't have asked for a better fall break itinerary. I'll get to tour four countries and have undoubtedly one of the greatest experiences of my life. I'm sure I'll take tons of pictures and make many memories. With all of our hostel reservations confirmed and our Eurorail passes activated, all I have to do now is pack! Until next time--cheers.
