This last week was pretty rough for me. I am not sure why, exactly. I think it was a combination of things, but I was (and kind of still am) very emotional and I feel weird. I have been all teary and pissy and mopey. I don't like it.
I had yesterday off and it was the best day of the week for several reasons: I finally got to see Shane. It was his last day at UPS, which hopefully will make his life less stressful. I went shopping and got a new pair of really cute capri jeans from the Gap and a pair new pair of Reef flip flops (the trendy kind...the ones I have wanted for two years. It took me two whole years to break down and buy them. They are very very cute). We bought plane tickets to Europe.
So, it's official. We are going to Europe. Our plane leaves LAX on the evening of June 18th and will take us to Paris. Yay! It is going to be a little tight. Shane graduates on the 14th and we have to move all of our stuff to a storage unit in San Diego county before the 18th, but we'll make it. It's exciting and I am so glad to have that out of the way. We also get a stop over in London from the 10th to the 14th of August on our way back with the deal. So we will be gone for about 8 weeks. I think it will be so cool to get away, not have to work and seeing everything there is to see over there. I am really looking forward to it.

I am so excited for you guys. 8 weeks is a good time; it’s long enough for you to get fully immersed in the travel experience (something that takes at least a month, I think), but still within reasonable financial expectations.
Good job flying into Paris: I don’t know if you were going to England or not, but my days in London were my most expensive by far, and getting across the Channel was not cheap (and certainly not covered by Eurail…)

Paris was cheapest to fly into, so that’s how that happened, but I think it is a good place to start. The stopover in London is included, so how could we pass it up? I have been to London before, although at the time, the people I was visiting had a flat there we stayed in. I don’t know them anymore, unfortunately.
Thanks for all your tips, Nathan. You are a big help! It’s nice to know someone who’s been there and can tell you what’s up.
