Nothing Like Travelling!
Thanks to all my dear friends that responded to my LJ-post of depression the other day. While I didn't respond back to everyone individually, I do appreciate it a great deal, and felt a lot better after the outpouring of love. Everything is much better now, too. I just needed to get through it and not be alone.
Another reason I got through it is because I have found something exciting to turn my attention to: a trip to Europe. With Shell going down relatively soon (but no date has been given yet) and me quitting work this Thursday (save for the occasional shift afterwards), I've decided that before I get roped into a real job that isn't as lenient with getting time off, I want to get some good travelling in under my belt. Kat really wants to go too, and is fixing her terrible work schedule so we can go for at least two weeks, likely three, and hopefully four - sometime in November, and definitely back before Christmas.
I talked to Katia (lara_luna) on the phone today, catching up on our busy lives, and asked her for assistance for places to see. She went on a Eurotrip just over a year ago so I figured she'd have some good insight.
That said, if anyone else has any ideas of places to go and things to see, please send them my way! I'm taking any suggestions I can, so Kat and I can come up with a good list. Also, if any of you are in Europe and wanna hang out for a bit while we're there, that'd be awesome.
I don't care how obvious your suggestions are, either - if all you say is "Eiffel Tower" or "The Coliseum in Rome" or something, that's fine. It's all acceptable for me, cuz I may be so busy that I might overlook the obvious ones!
Thanks for your help, and thanks again for all you lovely people for caring for me already. You're the best.

As you can see, the main countries we're focusing on are the UK, France, Germany, and Italy.
We'd like to hit the smaller countries along the way too, like Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Denmark, and Sweden...and Monaco and the Vatican City if we can.
