WTF ...

was I thinking? Booking a last minute trip to Europe?! This is not me. I'm usually so researched and prepared for adventures.

I leave on Friday and I am neither.

Who JUST found a place to sleep in Amsterdam? This girl. I'm also a little stressed about the language barrier. For both Italy & France I was listening to language podcasts weeks before. This time, there were no weeks before.

AND to be super adventurous (read: slightly stupid) I've arranged for a couple of dates in each city. Thanks OkCupid!

So, play nice Berlin, Amsterdam and maybe Bruges, I just don't want to cry.

Where in France are you? If you're near Toulouse I'll hook you up with my cousin Maxime.

Not France this time. I was in France early last year. Wait, is Maxime a single male? Because travel plans are easily altered. ;-)

Did you find you had to use French or Italian in your past travels? It seemed like most of Europe, until I went to small towns, was passable with just English - including Amsterdam, Berlin and Bruges. :)

I didn't use them a ton - not that I knew a ton - but I got the gist of the basics and could at least fake enough of something to feel confident. But it's good to know I won't be harassed for be ignant.
