I've officially started packing for my trip to Europe few minutes ago. I take off Friday afternoon, which is less than 41 hours away. This is more "last-minute" than I had hoped. Usually I would've started packing for a trip earlier, but there were several factors that prevented me from getting a head start. But the important thing is I've started packing!
This trip to Europe has been an idea culminating for the past seven months. I've always wanted to visit Europe, but never found the time (or money) to actually realize the dream. But this time around, a couple friends of mine Adam and Heather are returning to BC from Milan after their two years serving a church over there. I've read lots on their life in Milan so I wanted to see how they were living the Italian way. Now that their time in Italy was drawing to an end, I knew I had to get there. Plus there would be copious amounts of delectable Italian food!
Besides Adam and Heather, I wanted to see my friends Danielle and Graeme in London. And Danielle has been in London for a while now, and I haven't seen her for over a year. So I'm looking forward to catching up over tea and crumpets.
It'll do me good to have a change of scenery (and diet). No, I'm really excited to see a totally different world that I only have pre-conceptions of. I'm not a seasoned traveller, but hopefully through this cross-Atlantic journey, I'll get to see more of the world and in turn learn more about myself and God.
