I’m Leaving, On A Jet Plane

09/11/15 | Europe

Euro Trip

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go.  Today is the day, today is the day!  This evening I leave for a whirlwind vacation in Eastern Europe visiting Budapest, Vienna, and Prague. I will be landing in Hungary tomorrow afternoon (8am EST) and from there I will be off.  

I am lucky enough that I can take this time off of work, that I have a friend to stop by my apartment to water my plants and get the mail, and everyone is supportive of this solo trip.   My itinerary has not changed much from the one I posted in May, it simply includes suggestions from friends who have recently visited the countries. 

All checked in for my flight and this is what the next two weeks have in store! #eurotrip pic.twitter.com/jPgidVSWXW

I have made lists, checked them twice and now I am off.  While I am gone Sparkles and Shoes is going to be on vacation as well – I decided to put the hours into researching and planning a fantastic trip than scheduling blog posts.  Instead of 7am posts, however, I have figured out a way, fingers crossed, that I will be able to stay connected through social media.  Make sure you are following on Facebook and Twitter, but most importantly Instagram, as I travel through Hungary, Austria, and the Czech Republic. 

See you soon!
