    Day 36 - Paris-Rome-Durham

    Today I bought the tickets for my first big trip. I bought a train ticket from London to Paris (leaves 12:09pm this Saturday), and a flight from Rome to Durham, which is in the northeastern part of England (leaves 5:20 on Wednesday).

    The most amazing part is that the flight from Rome to Durham was only €5.99 (about $7). Well, with all the taxes it came out to be around $30. Wow!

    Now I just have to figure out how I'm gonna get from Paris to Rome. I can travel for free on any train in France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, and Italy, so there are quite a few interesting routes I can take. At the moment, I'm leaning toward concentrating on France, Switzerland, and especially Italy.

    I'll still have one or two days left on my rail pass after I get back, so I can hit Germany and Spain on another trip(s). I'm also thinking about day/weekend trips to Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and maybe Poland or Czech.

    Wow Matt, you world traveller you! I know it's not a good thing to be jealous but I so am! I've had this life long dream to travel Europe. I doubt I'll ever get to do it though so I'll have to live vicariously through you! LOL Seriously I'm super happy for you. I hope you remember this all your life.

    Take pictures!!! I wanna see what Europe's like!!! :)
