Thanks Simon

So! Today was the big "book hostels for George and I in Scotland and Italy" day. And it went swimmingly! Here are the solidified, set in stone, charged to the credit card plans:

March 21-25: George arrives in Sheffield. We hang out, he gets grilled by roommates, Carl, etc all while recovering from jet lag. I laugh, and don't let him nap (it's for his own good!)
March 25: Leave for Edinburgh
March 25-27: Edinburgh with a day trip to the Highlands
March 28: Glasgow! Stalk Belle & Sebastian, drag George along.
March 29: hang out in Glasgow, fly to Rome
March 29 (late evening): Arrive in Rome
March 20-31: Rome
March 31: Train to Florence
April 1-2: Florence, catch late train back to Rome
April 3: George leaves for Chicago. I leave for Freiburg.
April 3-10: Hang out with Jacob in Freiburg.

These are the tentative plans post all of that:
April 10: take train/plane to Paris. Meet Kiernana and Carl.
April 10-13?: Soak up as much Paris as we can get. Be giddy.
April 13 or 14: get a plane back to Sheffield, trudge up Tapton Hill, collapse in our beds, shower properly, do tons of work.



This will be the craziest, busiest, most hectic three weeks of my life. I can hardly wait.
