Well, in just a few days, i'm off to Europe for the second time This time i'll see London, Paris, and Amsterdam, as well as Versailles and some places in Normandy (i think). Needless to say, there will be many Kodak moments, and i just hope i can catch them all. Some of the pictures i'm really hoping to get are the Arc de Triomphe from the other end of the Champs-Elysees and the Eiffel Tower at night, as well as Big Ben from across the Thames, and Notre Dame, and...ah. so many photos. Honestly i don't know what kind of camera i'll have. Hopefully i'll have the digital one, but then the memory card will fill up quickly and i'll have no way to make room for more. But if i take a handfull of disposable cameras, well...the picture quality won't be so great. how i wish i had a really nice camera, like Ms. Blair, the lady i'm going with. She's a photography teacher, so it's obvious that she has a nice camera.

Besides the pictures, i'm really excited about going. I know it makes me sound childish, but it'll be the first time i'm away from my parents for more than a week, and i'll be on a different continent. and allowed to drink I'm glad i'm not the type of person that gets homesick. I can't wait to see three of the most famous cities in Europe! And i leave on the 17th...so close! I'll probably have a really long journal entry when i get back....i'm considering taking some kind of journal to write in while i'm there, just in case i see something i really want to remember. but i dunno.

I've already had several people make me promise to bring something back for them. One of my friends simply wants a photo. I hope i can find souvenirs for everyone...i'm going to try to avoid bringing back really generic stuff, like little Eiffel Tower sculptures or something. But souvenir shopping can be surprisingly hard sometimes...

Wish me safe traveling! And i really hope my baggage doesn't get lost...(we have to change planes 3 times...)
