Off to Europe

Posted by Lena at 12:23 AM on March 16, 2005.

So I'm leaving for Europe tomorrow and I'm sooooooooooo nervous!!  Mostly the plane ride is giving me frog size butterflies in my tummy...but otherwise just nervous about leaving home for so long.  I've never been away from CA for so long but this is just what I need to face my fear of flying + live a little!    I'm just freaking out right now cause I want to make sure I pack everything and leave nothing out.  But most importantly, my digital camera is ready to go!  WHOOHOO!!  Pictures galore! 

On Monday morning I got to my work and there was a wrapped gift for me at my desk.  One of my bosses, Desi, knitted me a scarf for the cold in London.  Isn't that soooo sweet!!!  That was so awesome of her!  And then I went and said bye to my co-workers and gave them all hugs..I'm gonna miss them.  I know it's only 10 days, but I get people attached! 

And today I got off work early and went to find a small gift for my friend Maria in Barcelona, cause I wanted to get her something for showing us around, and so my sister suggested Bath & Body works.  So I went there but thought, oh she could probably get that there in Europe, but I asked the lady and the lady said they only have Bath & Body Works in the Continental US...so not Hawaii or Alaska!!  So my friend Maria will get something American!  hehe   And I can buy myself something Spain! 

Okay wish me luck and Happy Birthday Sze Wan!!!!!

Currently feeling: anxious

Paris

Posted by Lena at 04:47 PM on March 18, 2005.

Hi!!  or shall I say Bonjour!  I'm in Paris right now at 12:40 am, or LA 3/40pm Friday and we are in an Internet cafe;  We went all the way up Eiffel Tower today!!  Very nice views.  Paris is a very old city with lovely cathedrals and buildings.  Tomorrow we are gonna climb up towers of Notre Dame.  The keyboard here has everything mixed up....like you need to tab to hit the period key and the tab is not tab....it's where the shift on the right side is. 

Plane ride was scary but the movie watching was cool.  I'm ready- to come home but I love seeing new things.  We go to Barcelona on Sunday night.  Things are expensive out here!!!  The Euro is cool looking though! 

Well just wanted to say hi and I miss home!!!

Au revoir!!!  we learned some French phrases!!  Oh I had french fries today!

I'm Home!

Home Sweet Home!   So nice to be home.  I just got back from Europe today and it was a looooooooooooong flight.  We left London at 8:55am (London time) and landed around 12am (London time) so it was a 15 hour trip total cause we had a stopover in JFK for like 1.5 hours...and of course we had to do customs in NY so of course of luggage is still there!!  I know...my luggage is not with me!!   Hopefully we'll get it tomorrow!  It has my beans!  I brought 4 cans of baked beans...it's a morning breakfast item they eat in London and it's delicious!   

Anyways...I haven't slept in over 48 hours so I'm pooped!  Good nite
