Je pars pour Paris... huit

I will have weekends off, so I plan on spending a good percentage of my Euros on travel—into the city and to a few places of interest. I need to smell the air in Switzerland. I think I’d like to try to visit the south of Spain around our Halloween time. I need to try real Belgian beer. My sister’s boyfriend is in Germany, so maybe there for “thanksgiving.” And my friend, CJ, is in Bulgaria, and I’m gonna make him host me. I have a layover in Dublin, but it barely counts compared to how much of Ireland I’d like to enjoy—so many people have contacts in Ireland, I feel like I’ll be there multiple times. A friend will be an au pair in Sweden, too. And there you have the short list. Anywhere I miss during the year, I’ll get to next summer…
