Eurotrip 2008!!! I'M ON LEAVE!!!

Sorry it's been a while. There's so much I've wanted to write about but I'm very short on time and just want to post this update...

Well. You haven't felt loneliness until you've been the only single person on an entire resort! I think even couples could feel lonely here. If you're not a family of at least 3 or more, you're kind of out of your league here. It's so overwhelming all there is to do and see and experience and share. My room has two beds each big enough for two people and an all glass wall that opens out to a balcony with a direct view of the breathtaking Bavarian Alps! The mountain peak Zugspitze is the highest in Germany and is right outside my back door! The first thing I see each morning!

So far I'm on day 6 I think of this 15 day vacation. I've been all over the place in Germany (including the oldest town in the country and another city three different times!), driven through Luxembourg, a small village and two cities including Brussels (very beautiful at night) in Belgium. Didn't make Amsterdam. Also I've been in the Alps of Bavaria, Switzerland (super duper WOW!), and Austria and had meals in each of those places. Finally I did a walking tour of the 27 mile long country (or principality) of Leichtenstein, the last absolute monarchy in Europe. I missed the chance to hit the club in Germany. Very disappointed about that.

Still so much more to do. I've only been to one of the 6 countries that I've made mandatory for myself on this trip. A couple more things to do in Germany and then I'm Italy-bound. From there I'll still have Spain, France, England, and Scotland. I've got to get a move on.

From this point on the trip gets a bit more complicated with no resorts or friends' places to stay until Scotland. Oughtta be great fun and ripe for stories!!!
