Yesterday as I was chilling in my room, the doorbell rang. I went downstairs and opened the door for the FedEx delivery man standing there. In his hands he held a cardboard envelope addressed to me. I quickly signed for the envelope and took it in my hand. As I stood there in the foyer of my house holding this precious package I could almost see the light emanating from behind the package and the choir of angels singing as I preceded to open the envelope. Almost.
Inside the envelope was the key to the adventures that I am going to have in April. Inside was my Eurail Pass. From April 2 to April 20 I don't have any classes so I will be using this time to travel all over Europe. And this pass is what is going to let me do it. I can use this pass to ride almost any train in the 20 countries that accept the pass. It is going to be glorious.
Along with the pass I got a couple of other surprises in the envelope. There is a timetable of trains in Europe; there is a map of all the lines that I can use the pass on; there is a handy dandy guide for how to use the Eurail Pass most effectively. All are going to be crucial in my planning of adventures.
Speaking of planning, I still really haven't done any. Well I did sit around with the map and dream about what I was going to do and see for several hours, but nothing concrete came of that time. I thought about what I was going to pack for a while, but then I decided that there was no point in thinking about it until I was ready to start packing and it is still much to early to start doing that. I made a reservation at a hostel in Bonn for when I arrive in Germany. And I did get a hostel membership so that I can use the reservation that I made. I guess that is some progress.
