Getting excited!

So today we got our train tickets for our journey around Europe, the scenic Chunnel, and the British Isles. We also got the cash for the first leg of our trip. The pounds will have to be purchased in London. We've finally figured out that we're going to take day trips to Rotterdam and The Hague in the Netherlands, Brussels and Bruges in Belgium (do all of their names start with B?) to get Laurence and MatTek their respective chocolate, and to Limerick and Mullingar (where some of my Irish ancestors are from). We've got most of our itinerary ideas together, and are working out the addresses, train stations, metro stops, etc. Four days left: two more days of work and two parties, and we're off!

I'll try to be updating this as much as possible when I'm actually on the trip and have pictures and news to share, if I can get internet access. Get excited! ;-)
