Give me a break (a Fall Break, that is!)

Tomorrow is the day! We are off on our grand adventure through Europe after a week of mid-terms. I take my last test in a few hours (yikes!) and then have to figure out how to fit 10 days worth of clothes in a tiny backpack to appease airline restrictions and the like. Oh wait, I packed clothes for 26 days in this backpack for Running Through History. This should be a breeze (key word: SHOULD). Minus the fact that summer high school clothes might take up a little less space than my winter clothes. Minor detail.

Anyways, we have a few more kinks to work out in travel plans, some boarding passes and confirmation numbers to print out, and then we will be off! We being Christie, Amy, Mary Raine, Margaret and I. I could not be more excited.

Here is our plan of attack:

• Munich (via Rome) for barely 24 hours....a big travel day including trains buses planes and more buses to get there, but a pleasant day in the city the next morning
  
• Leave by train for Salzburg Saturday night for a 2 night stay, Sound of Music Tour included...perhaps the stop I look most forward to!! We may watch the movie tonight in preparation.
  
• Train to Prague (on Halloween!) for a 3 night visit...itinerary of sight-seeing TBD (any hot tips would be appreciated! Email me please!)
  
• Early morning flight to Paris for a 2 night stay in the land of Secco baguettes and pain au chocolat out the wazoo. So very excited.
  
• Sunday afternoon, flight to Pisa and train back to Florence
  

I WOULD be very sad for the end of Fall Break as we have been looking so forward to it for so long, buuuuut my parents will be arriving in Florence the very next day!! (Sans Eliza. Which is sad) I am so excited to see them and take them around for the week!

Looking forward to updating you on all of our adventures.

Until next time,
Grace
