A week from today!
Almost time to leave.
18/01/2011
A week from today I will be on an airplane heading for Frankfurt, Germany. I still have no idea where I am going to go, but I was thinking about heading up to Norway and Sweden first. Honestly, I might get as far as Cophenhagen and then turn around because I get cold easily.
It's funny, you'd think 3-months would be plenty of time to see Europe, but I'm finding myself strapped for time. I guess I have to assume that I'll be back and that I will die before I will ever be able to see and experience everything I want.
The array of emotions I've been going through this week has interesting: Joy, Fear, Hope, Worry, Excitement, etc. I'm not use to this. My dear friend Kate said it best, "Matt, you're not going off to war". Well said! I DO know that I'm going to miss everyone during this short time. But, don't worry about me, I'm a Mason.....we got a whole series of underground tunnels and junk that I can stay in for a night or two. I'll be fine! 
Love,
Uncle Traveling Matt

Uncle Matt: What a great idea to chronicle your travels and allow us to join you in a vicarious tour of Europe. I can relate to the mix of emotions - I started off on a similar European tour (from Arizona) in February of 1974. 36 years later, I still treasure that trip. Enjoy - we look forward to your future posts. Randy Virden (SJSU)
