Golden Book Traveler

Goldenbook Euro 2010 Has Ended8/19/2010

It gives me great delight and a little bit of sadness that my Europe trip has come to an end.

The trip actually ended on August 3rd. I’ve been so busy getting my life together after 7 months of being away that I’m just now getting around to my blog.

This trip lasted a good 4 months longer than I planned. 4 additional months of unplanned greatness.

Suffice to say those were the best 213 days of my life. Travel can be fun, stressful, adventurous, exciting, life changing, hectic relaxing….it’s really up to you.
