60 days.

Y’all, trip planning is hard, and I love it.

In 60 days, husband and I will be embarking on our first European adventure together and I could not be more excited. [London, Paris, Munich + a spontaneous night in Salzburg] (Side note: is it really spontaneous if I’ve already planned it? But I hadn’t originally planned it, so it feels spontaneous!!) 

But it’s hard.

If you didn’t know, I’m super planner, especially when it comes to trips. My favorite thing is to find the amazing local restaurants. Food is too good to skimp on when traveling!! But it can get overwhelming fast when planning for a two week vacation in several cities. I’m starting my itinerary spreadsheets now (go ahead, judge) and I’ve taken a lot of recommendations (go ahead, send me more). I’m already thinking about packing, and the shoes I need to buy, and my passport that still has to come in, and the train tickets I need to purchase, and the adapter I can’t forget, and the budget that needs to be solidified, etc. etc.

Like I said, a girl can get overwhelmed.

But I love it.

And like they say, anticipation is half the fun. I’m already learning new things about the cities and their cultures just from reading up on what to do. I seriously get giddy if I think about how much we are going to get to experience together.

When I realize we will land in London on the anniversary of our engagement.

When I realize I will get to eat macaroons at Lauduree.
(and also at home, in my bath, just like Blair Waldorf)

When I realize we will be in Munich for Oktoberfest. OKTOBERFEST!

When I realize our last night will be in this adorable lakeside hotel.

When I realize I’ll get to go to Platform 9 3/4 and take a cliche picture, all the while praying I will somehow end up at Hogwarts.

When I realize I will get to stroll hand-in-hand with my love beneath the glittering Eiffel Tower.

It all sounds magical. And it will be here before we know it. 60 days.
