OMG. I should be in Europe or in NYC right now, but I am still eating Pumpkin Pecan oatmeal in Nashville. I now have a freakishly clear weekend schedule due to clearing it for the trip. I think I may just stay in the bath and relax the whole weekend, or bust out the guitar and playyyyyyyyy...... I love having nothing on the calendar!

This is allllll subject to change slightly, but this is as close as I can get for now......

So excited to see some old friends and meet some new ones and see places I have only dreamt of. I will be backpacking and crashing in hostels, doing this on the cheap.  The next time I go, maybe I will be in a position to stay at nice places and enjoy the finer things, but this is a bare-bones backpack journey.  Wish me luck?
