God, I want to go back. Maybe study abroad if Malta falls through.

I just... grrr, I'm planning on a trip to Berlin in April, and can't afford/justify a trip to Spain. I keep doing this, but sigh... maybe next year. =/

My dad (and us) were stationed there for four years. *hides*

If you go through Iceland, you can get some really affordable flights. Something I've discovered looking for flights to Malta.

Hah, I've often wondered what it's like to move around frequently (I've been in NYC my whole life). Where else were you guys stationed?

I meant to go to Iceland two years ago when flights were insanely low but I think I went to London instead. LOL.

I just feel the simplicity of the design juxtaposed with the majesty of the room -- I've always felt awestruck by it. It seems both vast and enveloping at the same time. <3
