Going back to Europe to do all those things I didn't have a chance to in previous trips. Rediscovering Spain, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the UK and visiting many other places for the first time. My goal is to remember my lost Spanish and German skills, as well as pick up some Norwegian and visit and share some good times with long lost friends, classmates, colleagues, former host families and exchange students and THEIR expanding families. There will undoubtedly be some great food, beer and wine, music, art, dance, history, culture, architecture and fashion to enjoy along the way.... bring it on, I say!
