Traveler

     I have quite a few travel plans for this summer!   I love traveling; I've discovered what a passion I have for it.  I can't wait for this semester to be over already; no more snow, chilling wind, etc.  Summer, hurry up and get here!

• I just got word today that I was accepted into the study abroad tour to England!  I wrote about it HERE, but I'm ecstatic!  I figured it was a bit of a long shot.  That won't be until May 25th but I can't wait!

• Then in June my family is going to Disney World in Orlando (also previously mentioned HERE) after my sister gets out of school.  Only one hundred and fourteen days!  Not that I'm counting or anything...

• I really want to go somewhere exciting for my birthday this year, like New York City or something!  Just myself and a couple of my best friends.  How fun would that be??!  I'll have to work out prices and things to do, etc. but I think it sounds like a really awesome way to spend my twenty-first!

• I also really want to visit my cousin and her hubby in Philadelphia.  They keep inviting me to come every summer, but there never seems to be enough time.  I miss my cousin and when I was in Philly last time (my first and so far only trip there), I was doing bridesmaid/wedding-related things so I didn't get to see the city or do anything fun!  I was extremely disappointed.  Philly was beautiful, the little that I saw of it.  I'm definitely going to try my best to make it happen this year!  

• My family rents a cottage on Martha's Vineyard every summer and we stay for a week.  Usually it's my mom, my mom's fiance Dan, Dan's brother Louie and sister-in-law Joan, plus Dana and I.  Sometimes we bring friends - Last summer I brought Nikki and a few years before that I brought Brianna.  I love that island.  My sister didn't go last year and won't be going again this year because of a competitive college preparation program (It's basically like summer camp but with classes).  The Vineyard is literally my favorite place in the world.  That won't be until the first week in August though, so I'll be waiting a while for that trip.

     Eeeeekk!  I am so excited!  This is going to be the best summer ever!
