Back in action

After a few minor setbacks I'm back on my feet. Spent my last day in NY listening to automated messages hoping to speak to a real person. After hours on hold and many transfers I got through and conquered my obstacle. Yes!!! (with empathic fist pump) After all that hoopla I’m finally preparing for my real trip, 3 hours away from my departure to London. Just booked my hostel in Greenwich which is southeast of downtown London. My plans after that are looking a little more apparent too, just need to be finalized. Scotland and a visit to St. Andrews. Wish my pops could go with. Would be an awesome experience to whack (yes whack…if you’ve seen me play you’d understand) a round and appreciate how the pros make it look so easy. After that a flight to Ireland and some Guinness. Mmm…tastes like chocolate milk. Followed by a flight to Amsterdam to relax. Got to do what the locals do. So now it’s finally starting to hit me. I’m actually doing this! And I’m so unprepared! (with tentative fist pump) But that’s how I originally wanted this trip to play out, on my toes so that I can take advantage of the opportunities in front of me. And as I become a more experienced traveler I’ll better define my plans in advance. So wish me luck!
