This is BIG my friends...BIG!
Ever since I can remember, Matt has always said that the only way he would travel some place far away was if it were for a beach...vacation...relaxation...I get it, I get it...
I also was the one who always said if I was going to travel it would be some place with history and art so I could spend all day immersed in a new culture, exploring and taking things in.
When we first started talking about our honeymoon I saw it as the perfect opportunity to get Matt to Europe...he saw it as the perfect opportunity to get me to a tropical beach for a week of relaxing.
Ok...so Matt won this one...
Clearly I won too...
(P.S - get me back on that boat with one of those drinks...asap...thanks)
Anyways...now here we are, almost a year later (what? yeah...do the math...) and we find ourselves planning that trip that I have DREAMED of...
Last night Matt and I went shopping (ok, I shopped all day and Matt met me at night after he was done golfing...rough life we're living, I know...)
What were our big purchases?
Target travel aisle got me good...they had a lot of stuff that I've been eyeing on clearance! Matt had the chance to get a new pair of kicks (which I quickly exclaimed "those will be GREAT for Europe") and he got some new shirts too...
Bottom line, this trip is so close I can almost feel the hustle of the airport, and the foreign languages, and the gelato, and the straight-from-a-horror-movie hostels.
This was my most exciting travel purchase today...
*A side bag for sight-seeing around a city. This is useful for those days that you don't have all of your luggage on your back and you're going to be gone from your hostel/hotel for the entire day. You want it to fold up pretty small so it doesn't take up too much space in your luggage. Also you don't want a back pack or a purse (unless you plan on wearing your small backpack on your stomach - like I did my first trip to Europe) because you want to be able to see your stuff at all times and a regular purse can 1) get heavy and 2) be easy for a pickpocket to slice the bottom and get all of your stuff.
Evidence - on top of the eiffel tower - one of the pics I forgot to take off my backpack...I kid you not, I walked around Europe for over 2 weeks like this...that's why I went with a side purse (satchel?) for this trip! Make fun...I can laugh at this too!
4 months from now I'll be in Europe! Yikes! :)
