05/24 - 05/31: Flagstaff, AZ for a camping trip with a bunch of dudes!
06/01 - 06/06: Vail, Colorado for the Teva Mountain Games
06/07 - 06/14: Amarillo, TX
06/14 - 08/03: European Union! Countries visited will be... England, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Italy, France, Monaco and Spain! (so far) I know, I know... Liechtenstein and Monaco are not technically countries (they're principalities)... But you get the point!
As for the Europe trip, my plans are fairly loose. I'm going to be able to fit a lot in in two months, including visiting some friends in England, Germany and Italy, the Running of the Bulls at the Festival de San Fermin and the 100th anniversary of the Tour de France!!! Wahooooo!!! For twenty of the days I will be in Europe, I'm taking a tour with a company called Contiki. They specialize in travel for 18-35 year olds (eeeek, I'm creeping up on that age limit). It's a good, inexpensive way (only about $140/day) to see a lot of Europe in a short amount of time... Here is an itinerary, check out the map below.... The other 30 days I'm there, the plans are totally flexible!
Here's a map of the Contiki Tour:
I'm assuming that being away from my friends, family and puppy for two months may make me at least a little queasy in the home sickness department... The good news is, I just got an iPad 2 and since it has a camera, I can SKYPE! So, if you're on there, send me your user ID so I can hear a Texas accent every few days! I also bought a keyboard and SD card reader for the iPad so I'm hoping to spend some time keeping updates posted here about my progress!!
As for August the 4th, I've got no plans as of yet after the jet lag wears off... So, if you've got any ideas, or you want to do something and all you need is a friend, let me know!

I would love it if you would consider a trip to Austin at some point in the fall....before you decide where you're going to plant your roots. We could pick a state park and go camping - I think we would have a blast. Love you. Safe travels my friend.
P.S. I know we talked about HRC in Amsterdam. I don't have Munich, Florence or Venice either....so any 1 of those cities would be great! You're going to have so much fun. I'm so jealous!
