Choo-choo Train Time!

Tomorrow at this time Alexis and I will be on a train heading towards Munich! DIS gives us a two week spring break, which is referred to as a travel break, for obvious reasons. 800 American students studying in Copenhagen will split off to explore the rest of Europe. World beware, we are coming, we are excited and we are trying not to be clueless! Because lets be honest, not many of us have traveled by ourselves before. We are so used to having strict itinerary planned out by whoever is leading our adventure, but this time we are venturing out on our own. We had to figure out trains and flights and buses, book our own hostels, the safest and easiest way to travel with a very tiny budget. Its all a lot more difficult than I feel like it should be!

It is truly exciting though. At the end of the two weeks when we reconvene for our last five weeks in Copenhagen, we will be a lot more experienced and confident travelers. We will probably get lost, miss at least one train, get grumpy from lack of sleep, pay too much for food, and all sorts of other misadventures. But I say bring it on! What is traveling without a few bumps in the road, those are what make memories and funny stories later.

For those of you who care what we are planning. We are training down to Munich, then across to Salzburg and Vienna. Then we are going down to Venice for a night, then down to Rome for Easter weekend, then back up to Venice for a few days. Then across to Milan before flying back to Copenhagen at the end of the two weeks.

Of course I still have a test, a paper, classes tomorrow, and packing in between me and this fabulous adventure. So, I probably should go build up a tiny bit of motivation to get everything done!
