A fresh slate
So this is my blog for my trip to Europe.
I've been talking about going to Europe to see soccer games forever. I applied to win money to do it and was summarily denied (shocking, I know). So I'm busting out my Thresher earnings and taking the plunge anyway. My best friend from high school, Joe Pinto, is coming with. It's going to be awesome.
We've got a rough itinerary planned, including Brussels, Paris, France at-large, Florence, Milan, Barcelona, Madrid, Dublin, and stuff in between. We're leaving the night of October 6 and coming back the morning of November 10. I'll post when I can. It seemed easier than a mass e-mail list, especially given my occasionally checkered past with mass e-mails.
So get ready for tales of red-light districts, endless boozing, and soccer-related violence. Plus occasional visits to old churches and the like. And, technology willing, some pictures. It's gonna be good.
Next stop: Friday, Brussels (via Newark, Dublin, and Paris)
Next game: Saturday, UEFA World Cup qualifier, Belgium v. Spain, Stade de Roi Baudoin, Brussels BELG

Not too much about the red-light districts, I hope!

Make sure to post some photos too! You know the place to put 'em.
As my high school electronics teacher used to tell us before every weekend, "don't drink and drive[1], don't share needles, use a condom".
And watch out for those hooligans.

Well, It sure seems to me your trip is too short. I hope you have ticket insurace and will extend it for, you know, an extra season or two. :-)
I'm glad Pinto is going with you. That seemed like a lucky thing, from what your mom says.
I'd hoped you'd get lost on your way across the country and end up in Michigan!
Have a blast, Jon. Are Mike and Joel on the list of people who know about this blog? Make sure they are! Joel is in the US at present and Mike is currently entertaining Thanes Raja and Helen from Kothaps in D.C.
Hope your fabulous- have such a good time... and don't listen to Meg about the Red-Light Districts... I want to hear all about it!

I am finally able to get on! My computer loves me today.
Have a blast! I still say I could fit in your backpack and carry it when I wasn't inside. :-)
Like Danielle, I too want to hear about everything! Happy flying today.
