I am done with camp now and beginning to work on getting ready for England. As I do this, it is dawning on me that I will be living out of a suitcase for four more months... Only this time, I will have even less that I am able to take with me. Having traveled and lived abroad before, I don't believe this will be as hard for me as for other people in my program. The actual packing process has yet to begin, so we will see how it goes...
On a similar note, I am realizing how much I have yet to do that *must* be done before I leave... That is in addition to seeing all of my friends off and saying final goodbyes to friends at camp. I have yet to get a English Heritage pass, which will allow quick and much cheaper access to many of the sightseeing places that we will be going. There are also many different things that I need to buy such as warm, waterproof walking shoes and a warm, waterproof jacket... The list gets longer and the amount of money that I have to spend on them seems to get smaller and smaller... But, then, I guess that is how it always is. But in the end I know that God will provide. So, I shall leave you now to go search for some warm waterproof walking shoes and jackets that *hopefully* don't cost a fortune, since I don't happen to possess said fortune...

BritRail pass and places to visit!
Well, I finally bought my BritRail pass. I'm not sure how long it'll take to get to the house, but I'm excited! Means I get to travel around Great Britain more easily. I have yet to buy my English Heritage pass, but I'm planning on getting that soon. Camp is beginning the end so I've started thinking more about this coming semester and what it's going to be like.
I'll have to compile a bunch of my mom's recipes so that I can make some good food while I'm over there. Not to say English don't eat good food; I just know that I'll want some good homemade kind of food. I'm excited about all the places that I want to go. I'll have to make a list and decide which are the most important because I'm pretty sure I won't be able to visit all of the places that I want to go. I am definitely going to Holland and Germany and Florence, in addition to Scotland and Ireland. Outside of that, I only have vague ideas of where I want to go. In Germany, Holland, and Florence I'll have friends who can show me around and tell me great places to see and eat. I think I'd like to visit Greece if I have the time and money. But I don't know if that is straying too far from England. I don't really have a clear idea of distances there and how much it would cost to get from place to place. I am guessing I'll have a clearer idea after getting there and traveling around some.
Any suggestions on other great places to visit?
