I'm exhausted...

...currently we are working on how to get from one city we will be at to another. Yup, we leave in 2 days and we're still planning. It's crazy. Packing you ask? Hmm....well. It's not done. It's started...per se. But not done. I have a fairly good idea of what I am bringing, and I have luckily done most of my laundry. I'm bringing a lot of stuff that can be mixed and matched. Lots of t-shirts and tank-tops and a few dresses that will be easy to throw on, especially for our time on Santorini Island in Greece. I even made a dress - by hand. Yup hand-sewn. Took me forever. I mean forever. I appreciate my sewing machine that much more right now.
I can't believe this trip came so fast. Within a few days we will be in Paris, France, from there we go to Barcelona, Spain and then on to Italy. While we are in Italy we will be in Rome, Florence and then Venice. From Venice we fly to Athens where will stay for a few days and then it's on to Santorini Isaland on Perissa Beach where we will soak up some island sun. Granted it won't be tropical weather, but anything seems tropical in comparison to all the rain that we have been getting here in Ireland.
I'm so excited. Nervous, and anxious and a little scared but so, so, so excited. I'm going to see the Eiffel Tower! And the parthenon! And Vatican City!! I always joke that I am such a dreamer, and I am. Sometimes I'd prefer to live in my dream world - hence why I love sleeping - but right now I feel like life is the dream world. I'm just hoping I don't wake up from this one.
By the way, daylight savings finally happened for us so we are back to being 5 hours ahead of everyone on the East Coast of the States. However while we are in France, Spain and Italy we will be 6 hours ahead and in Greece we will be 7 hours ahead. Something to keep in mind in case any of you ever want to call me. My phone doesn't let me call out while I am not in Ireland so if you wanna chat you will just have to give me a call!! C'mon I know you wanna, phone cards aren't that expensive! Trust me - ask me to let you know how much it would cost in Euro. You'll feel even better to know that if you were to spend 50euro, you are actually spending 75USdollars. Yeah, now imagine buying groceries. Now imagine buying groceries for 5 months. Lastly - imagine buying groceries for 5 months and living for those 5 months with a cheap roommate who steals your food that you spend all that money on. Great, I'm glad we're in the same frame of mind. Swear to God if my bananas, milk, cereal etc goes missing again when I am back from this trip - hell hath no fury like that of a women whose roommate has stolen her Frosted Flakes!!!!
Gnight!
