The Journey Begins

Hello everyone! I made this blog to document my trip to Europe, in this fine summer of 2007. Please leave me some comments, and be sure to check back regularly, as I'll be posting lots of fun photos of my adventures.

It is currently Sunday, June 24th at 12:13am as I write this, and my trip will begin later today. My sister and I will fly out of Logan Airport here in Boston, heading for Manchester, England, where we'll grab a connecting flight to Germany, to meet John. John is my best friend, who is currently serving the in Air Force, stationed just outside of Kaiserslautern, Germany. He has a house to himself, and is quite lonely, what with being thousands of miles from his friends and family, so Amber (my sister) and I figured this would be a great opportunity not only to go and cheer him up and keep him company, but to explore Europe, a place that neither of us have ever traveled.

My one regret is that Katherine, my fiancée, will be unable to accompany us; sadly, she doesn't have very much vacation time, and she and I both agreed that it's better spent going to visit her family in California, which she will do in a couple of weeks while I'm away.

Well, I'm about halfway packed now, and it's getting late, so I should get to sleep. My next post will be after arrival in Germany, so check back in a day or two!
