This was fun at first

I'm trying to avoid packing! So what better to do than type out a blog? A well thought out blog that takes a large portion of time to complete would be best I believe. Now don't start making assumptions! I am mostly packed but I'm down to where I have to decide exactly what I need to keep out and stuff is getting tight to fit and it's really not fun anymore. It was tons of fun when I first started! Who remembers that I was going to spend my last week traveling?! Doesn't matter. Here are the highlights.

Paris --
-Amazing sites!
-Underground smells terrible!
-We stayed in a weird hostel that was kind of like a hotel and a little iffy.
-The first night we weren't able to book a hostel because everything had been full so we had planned to just sleep in the airport BUT we found out that booking a room for 2 at a hotel was really cheap. So I had to sneak in! It was exciting!
-The food was wonderful.
- The Catacombs are apparently a very secret thing. We hunted and couldn't manage to find where they were! The street signs kept talking about them but they were nowhere to be found.
- I got a lot of souvenirs

London --
-I am in love with this city!
-I saw the Queen!!! The change of Parliament happened to be going on while we were there, so the Queen was being paraded around in a carriage.
-I saw Harry Potter. Okay... maybe he wasn't the REAL Harry Potter, but he looked JUST like him!









-The Tube is my favorite subway system!!!
-I bought a ton of souvenirs!

Dublin --
-I wish we had stayed longer so we could have spent some time OUTSIDE of the city.
-I really love Ireland!!!
-Dublin seems to be all about the Pubs. I am not complaining.
-I love Irish accents!
-I saw a leprechaun! It may have only been a man dressed up as one, but it totally counts!
-I bought a TON of souvenirs! Again.

Well I suppose this is enough. I DO want to come home tomorrow so I better get to packing. In about 7 hours I will be on a bus and on the first little leg of the journey home. <3 Home!
