    Holiday From Hell

    I'm sweaty. It is a million degrees outside. Plans keep falling through. My hotel (if you can even call this a hotel) is like a sauna right now. I'm staying in the worst part of town possible. I can't walk down the street without being approached by some creepy middle aged man. The wifi will barely connect. I have spent 10 times my allotted budget for the past few days. My travel buddy didn't end up working out as planned. Nothing is going as planned. I have wanted to cry in frustration, punch people in anger, and just give up and go home early. (Okay the punching was an exaggeration) One of my friends just commented that I should make this a reality show - probably a good idea - misery always sells. ;)

    But this is the end of my complaining. Sorry if my tweets have all been so down and emotional the past few days. Anyone who knows me well, knows that I can't stay mad or upset for longer than 5 minutes. Deep breaths, deep breaths. *phew* I think I'm officially okay. I think just about everything possible has gone wrong so nothing else can right?

    Tentative plans :

    Stay in Paris until Wed - then train to Italy for a week.

    Then somewhere (Belgium/Amsterdam/Greece?) for another 2 weeks.

    Then go stay with @Vivacions in Paris until September 6th.

    London for 1 more night.

    Then home to Seattle.

    When I get home I would like to go to a Seattle tweetup, eat thai food, and get some decent coffee. Then go to the gym and work off all the cider I drank while in London. After this, I will be looking for a job in marketing or social Media. Know of anything?

    Okwow. So. I saw your tweet and ran over here because I am in this crazy "I WANNA TRAVEL" place and I live in Seattle and I can #sototally go to a tweetup. (Also, because I'm a bit excitable like a small dog, my husband and I are always saying, .... Like A Boss at the end of all kinds of things. So now I officially love you.)

    I've told my husband no less than twelve hundred times this month I'd rather be in Paris or London right now. And there you are! I'll be catching up on your blog but look forward to your stories in person as well.

    Also, let me introduce you to my (hot) friend Theron who is also traveling over there right now. Not sure where he's at but he lives in Bellingham and (did I mention he's hot?) is blogging at http://theronmc.com in case y'all bump in to each other. :D

    Thanks for the nice comment. :)

    We will definitely have to do coffee once I'm back in Seattle.
