Gilbert & Maggie

So I have nailed down the first 10 days of my trip. I will keep my plans fluid after. My mom is joining me for those first ten day so we want to be strategic and not waste a moment. I am pretty excited, only 5 weeks till take off!

We are staying in B&B's and small inns, no big deal american tourist hotels. Local, that's the way I like to roll. I am looking forward most to Bruges. I never thought Belgium would be the highlight of my European tour but it is definitely becoming just that. We will be staying at this cute B&B, the owners are Maggie and Gilbert. They aren't Belgian...they're Scottish. I know that's not very local, but i like it all the same. I am curious how they ended up residing in Belgium...what's their story? Maggie and I have already had witty exchanges back and forth via email and I am looking forward to meeting both her and Gilbert in person.

That is all until further notice : )

Vintage Travel

Old travel posters are so carefree and fresh. They continue to encourage adventure, leisure, & play. I love the bold and uninhibited color palette.

Euro '09. I have been to Europe once before with my family when I was thirteen...maybe not the best age but it did wet my appetite for travel and adventure. We spent most of our time in Germany. Now I get to go back and am spending 57 days all over. My mom is going to join me for the first 10 days then various rendezvous with friends, and journeying solo.
