Pleasure > Pain

So I made a promise to myself at the beginning of our Eurotrip planning, that I would not let anything stress me out too much, because the last thing I’d ever want to do is ruin a once in a lifetime opportunity by worrying about futile details (which I’m extraordinarily good at, unfortunately). Alas, here I am on a Monday afternoon in a total sweat over where I'm going to rest my weary head when I step foot onto Canadian soil again - at least until Adam and I can find another apartment anyway - which would require about a 3 week temporary stay somewhere (anywhere!) in the median. My good friend Alana (Japan-A-Lana) is off teaching English in Japan, as of last Sunday - so that’s out. I have a few more options this far, but the not-knowing kills me! Not the best characteristic to have when traveling the world on a shoestring budget I suppose…!

I’ve decided that I must accomplish a little something everyday to prepare for Europe - so I’m not rushing near the end. Tonight I’m inquiring about a hepatitis vaccine and tetanus shot – two important precautions to acquire before any foreign trip. I’m a little hesitant about vaccines in general, but sometimes, I think, you have to pick your poison. Or, in other words, oh! the things I’d do to enjoy just one croissant and cup of gourmet coffee on a quaint café balcony dans la Paris!

soyez occupé !
