Title: Travelling
Description: a case of the travel bug...

*Sigh* My roomate and good friend just this minute left to go to Toronto to catch a plane to London England. I'm soooo excited for her. It is her first time in Europe. Her sister is studying at Herstmonceux Castle for the year, so her family is going to visit. I told her to go see Harrod's and Picadilly Circus etc. (she knows that they are going to the Tower of London). I suggested they drive a bit and check out Stonehenge..but I think they are not going to do that. Yeah..I so wanted to jump into her suitcase. ^_^ Any excuse to get off this continent!!! I love to travel - just don't have the opportunity or expendable cash to do it. So...I am going home for reading week...a whole 2.5 hours away! I am excited to see friends and do some shopping (have to get a dress for a ball) and get birthday presents...but I also really want to go away! My other roomate is going to the Domincan Republic with her boyfriend..but I'd rather go to Europe. Somewhere with a rich history and museums and centuries old buildings, (ie..instead of staying at a resort). ^_^
Another roomate of mine has been everywhere! She went to China and Hong Kong on a highschool trip, has been to the Aztec and Mayan ruins, spent a summer doing research in Israel, went on a cruise to Greece...and has been to quite a few other European locales. Now she is always going to Saskatchewan, as her bf is from there and goes to UofS.
Sorry..just whining here :blush: ...feeling a little...unsophisticated :unsure:
Just felt like getting it off my chest...wishing I had the money to go somewhere interesting. I want to go to Russia, Germany, Luxembourg, Britain, New Zealand, Cambodia, Botswana...and a million other places.
I love Canada, but every other country other than the US is so far away!!
Where do you really want to go?

I don't actually know where exactly they are going. I'm pretty sure they will be touring around.
My great gramma left Northern Ireland about 100 years ago to come to Canada because her sister was here (I don't know why) and her sister was sick...so my great great gramma sent my great gramma off to take care of her. Guess she decided to stay for some reason - heck if I know!! ^_^ But anyway..I would like to go and see where she was from. Maybe I could find some long lost relatives. ^_^

That sounds cool, be fun to find long lost relatives :)
My great great great grandmother was from Italy and
I'd love to go find out if there are any relatives there still :D
