SUMMER--FINALLY!

After 8 weeks of school at the Universiteit Maastricht and living down the hall from some of the greatest people I now know…summer vacation has arrived! Tonight we leave for our highly anticipated three week trip with nothing to worry about except running out of money and getting back in time to make our plane back to the United States.

We head to Brussels tonight (where our chaotic Ireland trip began) and fly to Barcelona tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. Here’s a brief schedule of where we will be for the next three weeks.

July 22: Leave for Brussels, Belgium
July 23-26: Fly to Barcelona, Spain
July 26-27: Night Train (24 hours) to Florence, Italy
July 27-July 30: Florence (Day trip to Venice)
July 30-July 3: Train to Rome, Italy (Day Trip to Pompeii)
July 3-4: Train to Bari, Italy-Ferry from Bari to Dubrovnik, Croatia
July 4-9: Dubrovnik
July 9-10: Train (30 hours) back to Maastricht

As you can see, we are getting maximum use out of our Eurorail…some would argue too much! I’m strangely excited for the long, grueling train rides through Europe, though I am worried we may lose our sanity in the process.

Until then!
