Well the departure date is about a month away and thus far, my friends and I have plane tickets. This is totally my kind of trip. We fly out on Red Eye's on May 18. We have our flights reserved from LA to London, London to Ireland, and then Ireland to either home for my friends, and onto Lithuania for me. So far, that is the extent of planning we have completed.
I felt productive this week because I did book us our tour for the Harry Potter Studio and bought us tickets for Guiness House in Dublin, but that's as far as we've gotten so far.
I plan on getting on booking things for us this week, which will include a rental car for Ireland and some hostels in London and Ireland. My friends haven't really done much with hostels before so we are aiming for all female dorms if we can swing it if they are available and no much more expensive. Ultimately though it will come down to whatever is least expensive. We are all about saving money where we can.
I can't wait to go! Traveling is truly a passion of mine that God created me with. Unfortunately it is an expensive passion, but I am alright with this. I love seeing new places, experiencing new cultures, and just getting out of my comfortable little South Orange County bubble that I am ashamed to say, often times I have become too comfortable with living in. I am on the countdown to departure date and within a few days it will be less than a month until I am off again!!!
