Well, I'm here in London finally and I can't sleep. F&*k jet lag. The trip over here wasn't too bad - long flight to Frankfurt, Germany then a short one to London, then a looong tube ride out to my friend Emily's place. She and I used to salsa dance together in Seattle so she's going to take me to all the best salsa clubs here in London - can't wait!
One funny thing I tried to take a picture of, but couldn't quite get, was the janitor at the Frankfurt airport. He was riding a small bicycle with a garbage, mop, broom etc hanging off the back and he was dressed in this funny green overall costume. It looked like he took a wrong turn at Burning Man and ended up in the airport. Funny.
Anyway, I am staying at a hostel tonight and meeting up with my friend Monika, who also happens to be in London at the moment. Then tomorrow the family gets here and we leave for Russia! Very exciting :-)
That's all for now, will try to update with photos sometime soon. If you happen to be visiting Europe between now and Aug 18th or if you happen to be in Thailand Sept 1-23 let me know!!
Post-school, pre-job
Well, I graduated (again) and now I'm off on a last vacation before full time nursing completely takes over my life. By request I've created this blog to document my travels, but I'm not much for record-keeping so I'll do my best to update when possible.
Quick preview:
Cruise to Russia, Scandanavia, etc
Dancing at the bachata festival in Zandvoort, outside of Amsterdam
Visiting friends and salsa dancing in Berlin, Denmark and London
12 days trekking and doing medical volunteer work in Vietnam
3 weeks traveling and generally making merry in Thailand

Leaving
I leave today at 2:00 PM on Lufthansa to go straight to Germany then backtrack to London. I'm exhausted. Looking forward to a 12-hour nap!
