April travel plans...BOOKED! I will be flying from London Stansted on April 7 to Milan. I will then take a train to Florence, then a train to Rome. Then, I will be flying from Rome to Paris, from Paris to Prague, and then taking trains from Prague to Berlin and Berlin to Amsterdam. I will take a ferry from Amsterdam back to England, arriving back in Norwich the night of April 23rd.

I'm very excited to have plans set in stone. All that's left to do is find places to stay. The other day I registered for CouchSurfing, a network of like-minded people who want to make traveling fun, inexpensive and safe, and to also make friends along the way. CouchSurfing is exactly what the title implies. You can search the website for people who are registered CouchSurfers who have free room in their place of residence, and then you get in touch with them and hopefully they can offer you a place to stay for a couple nights. You can write reviews of people you stay with, and that's the main way to judge who may be good to stay with. The more positive reviews, the better.

Chances are I will split time between CouchSurfing and hostels. In some cities, I will CouchSurf. In others, I will hostelize. Ha. Hostelize.

Anyway, those are the plans. The dates are as listed below. I can't wait!

Oh - one more thing. Ticket home has been booked. I'll be arriving back in the States for good on May 24!
