Okay, so the blogging in Europe tapered off a bit, but our travel experience got pretty hectic for a while. If you don’t already know, vacations are STRESSFUL. One of life’s great ironies. Here is what to do if you actually want to go on a relaxing vacation:
1) Have days where you do absolutely nothing.
2) Minimize your travel party.
3) Don’t even think about writing up an itinerary.
Apart from the snafus that come with traveling with one’s parents, the trip was ultimately a success. We accomplished everything we set out to do, and I’m returning to the states with many fun memories and European goodies. Since far too many things occurred while on vacation that can be summarized here, I’ll give you a few trip highs and lows:
Highs:
- Seeing Macbeth performed at the Globe Theater
- Taking my shoes off at Stonehenge
- British people
Lows:
- Fish and chips
- Getting a full body scan at the Canadian airport and seeing the results.
- Having to explain the ‘Human Centipede’ to my mother.
While this whole trip has been amazing and a once in a lifetime experience, nothing beats what I get to do now: come home. And once I get back, a whole new adventure begins. Yikes. I guess I’ll just look to Lady Macbeth for some advice (even if she’s talking about killing people).
‘But screw your courage to the sticking-place, and we’ll not fail.’
