The one with the 19-day trip

Today is the day! I am leaving this afternoon for a long, long, long, long trip in celebration of Christmas, New Year's and Three King's Day, possibly with a couple other celebrations thrown in for good measure.  I have been waiting for this trip for literally months now, and I am sure that it is going to be well worth the wait.

Here is the plan: Bus to Sevilla this afternoon to catch a 10:00 PM flight to London.  I will get into London Stansted airport around midnight and will slowly make my way to London Heathrow, where I will meet up with Mom, Dad, Maggie, and Jenny, assuming they have successfully made it to London at this point (fingers and toes crossed!).  Together we will all fly to Munich, where we will spend the day sight-seeing.  On Friday, we will take the train to Innsbruck, where Katie will meet us at our hotel in the afternoon.  The next 5 will consist of skiing, Christmas, sleigh-rides, ice-skating, tobogganing, and other shenanigans.  On the 27th, Maggie, Katie and I will depart for Venice, Florence, and then finally Rome for New Year's Eve.  On January 3rd, I will head to Madrid alone, to catch a bus to Barcelona, where I will meet Marissa.  We will site-see and enjoy the festivities of the night before Three King's Day.  FINALLY, on January 6th, we will catch a flight and then a bus to end up back here in Zafra.

It is going to be the adventure of the month, if not the year, and you get to have it with me!  I may do some previews from my Ipod while I am gone, but the "real" posts won't begin until I return in January.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
