I'm going on an Adventure/On the Road Again!


HI!
I heard back from my study abroad office. Yes, it is official; I will be going abroad for the second time. Now you all must be wondering where I am going, and now I will tell you. I'm going to London! I am so excited because I've always wanted to go to London, and being abroad is an amazing experience. Unlike last time, I will not be going with a close friend and am taking this trip solo. That doesn't mean that I'm not going to know anyone who's going, it just means that I won't have someone to cling to this time around. People tell me that London is overcast, but come on (rolls eyes). I live in Ithaca; one of the rainiest cities in the US, so I'm not that concerned.
I fully intend to travel while I am abroad, and this time I'm going all over Europe. I can't wait to start traveling. 
I know that I want to do some traveling in the summer before my program officially starts, and I'm thinking about going with EF college break, since traveling alone is scary. Right now, all I have to decide is where I want to travel in the summer. I'm looking into Greece and Italy. I also have to speak to my study abroad office, since there is a group flight that leaves for London from NYC. I just need their opinion and advice on going early, and finding a flat.
This is all really exciting, and I will keep you updated as I get closer to my departure date. Now let's talk about some other travel plans.
I am going to Florida this Spring Break! Can anyone guess where I am going? Here's a hint:
Lol, I'm going to Disney World! I literally can't even function from how excited I am. I'm sitting at work grinning like a goofball because I get to go on vacation. This vacation is extra special because I am going with friends. It's going to be a real spring break, except that only two of us are twenty-one, so it will be more of a pseudo-family vacation. Our flight and hotel were less than 400 dollars total, so that was a great price, considering that we're staying for five days. Let be break down how cheap this was. We're staying at a 4-star hotel for five nights for 66 dollars a night each. Our flight is somehow included in that price.
The only thing that is pricey is visiting the parks. That shit is not cheap. I'm going to the parks because I can't go to Orlando and not see the parks. I want to go to Sea World, Universal Studios, and Disney World: Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios. I'm looking at close to 500 dollars there. I'm going to have to budget very carefully. I also actually want to spend time with Sandra, Aliyah, and Jenn, so I'm going to work around their vacation schedule so that we can spend the vacation together. 
So much traveling is about to happen, you guys don't even know. I know that blog posts have been a bit boring, but I'm going traveling now. Soon, you guys can read all about my adventures and what it is like to be a "solo" traveler in Europe. It really is my last hurrah before I graduate. Now, I'm going to apply for scholarships to go abroad.
Thanks for reading, everyone!
Mmkay, Bye
