At this time, it’s my break between the first half and the second half of the semester. Due to the too sufficient amount of time I have, I’m planning trips with friends, booking plane/train/bus tickets, hostels, and etc. The thought of traveling to places is indescribably exciting, doing the actual planning is a pain in the rear end, and thinking about my credit card bill for this month is just a murder to my wallet.

Anyhoo, here is where I will be for the next 2 months:

Nov 10-15: Stockholm, Helsinki with Mint, Maha, and a gang of people
Dec 7-12: Berlin, Hamburg with Mint and Maha
Dec 19-26 Prague, Rome, (London) with Dawn and Roger
Dec 28-Jan 13 London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, Nuremburg (wahhh…=( no Cairo) with David !!!! =)

To save money for my trip to Prague and Rome, I’m flying from Rome to London, then London to Sweden on my return flight (instead of flying directly from Rome to Sweden). Because of the transfer, I would have to stay at London Stansted from 11pm to 7am. Yes, that means I will be sleeping at the airport.

For now, I’m pretty down with it, but I’m sure when the time comes, I’ll be thinking that this is the worst idea ever. Most interestingly, I’m flying from London to Sweden on Dec 27, pick up my stuff from Lund, then fly back to London on Dec 28 to meet up with David. Flying out and in of London within 28 hrs might seem like it’s a waste of time, but:

1) I booked my flight from Sweden to London long before I knew about this trip to Prague and Rome
2) doesn’t make sense for me to carry about 100 lbs of luggages while I’m traveling
3) tickets are booked already, not a very good reason, actually, not a reason at all, oh well =)
