So I did it! I booked the trip to Paris, by way of London. Just so happens I'll also travel through Chicago and Montreal to get there, but that's ok! Cheaper airfare is what matters.
I cannot wait and have already started reading the tour guides I bought over a month ago for this very day, without knowing what day it would be! Now I have to purchase a small London guidebook because I'll have a day or so there on my own before and at the end of the tour group. Excited just doesn't express how happy I am.
I told my parents about it before posting it for the world of facebook. I was more nervous about my dad because I value his opinion more than I like to admit sometimes. My mom is usually supportive anyway and thought it'd be fun for me. She was even going to talk to my dad when she got home today, but didn't have to. Well, just talking to my dad via instant messenger minutes ago, I asked him about the trip and how I'd miss Christmas at home again (missed it last year for a surgery) and his response was:
You must take these chances when they happen...or you will always miss out...You will have a blast...We are proud of you...You work hard...Enjoy life some.
And the entire time I was worried for nothing.
Day 7 of All Good Things: Having supportive friends and family, all equally happy and excited for this journey...Wishing I could squeeze all of them in a great big hug.
I am looking up my photo class assignments to see if they will help you figure out the camera. There is always one of those "for dummies" books. I went to Italy alone, attended school and made lifetime friends. This will change your life forever! Your confidence will soar when you get home. I was the most annoying person when i got back, all I said was, "When I was in Florence..."
