Traveling is the other objective


We five took our first vacation together and made it our own.  No travel guides (primarily because Andrew left it at home) and without a real plan of action.  This is the way it was meant to be.  San Sebastian is a breath of fresh air and a windy one at that.  San Sebastian was a great time.  It's a good place to just sit and enjoy the views, activities, and food.  Not to mention, with two half-moon beaches it's hard to go wrong.  Especially due to the fact that the old town is nuzzled in between the two picturesque beaches.   
            I'm so excited to be finally doing what I came here to do...travel!  I've been here for 2 months now and have taken nothing more than day-trips around Spain.  Day-trips can be fun, but the real thrill of adventure comes in the form of multi-day, exhausting trek across unknown terrain.  My first of many vacations is to the beautiful coastal town of Valencia with Elizabeth and our friend from back home, Tony.  Liz and I are leaving this Friday night at 23:00 and arriving in Valencia on Saturday morning at 7:00 and staying until Tuesday at 23:00.  You have to love Spain's enthusiasm for their puentes (bridges-Monday and Wednesday holidays= Tuesday off) holidays.  
             Our next trip will be our Christmas vacation and, might I add, it'll be a doozy.  We start off with a week in the ever-cheap Malta.  Might I just say, the 7 days and nights in a 4-star spa resort in Malta will be the cheapest of the vacation.  We will next head to Barcelona for the night and then onto....dadadadadadah...Paris for New Year's!!!  After nearly a month of deliberation we decided to head to Paris for the New Year's (our runner-ups were Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Barcelona).  We will be in Paris for 4 days.  Then we will be heading on to Amsterdam then to Belgium.  Talk about an adventure!!  Thanks for listening.  Until next time...

Ps.  I have a video that I have been trying to upload...it'll be on my facebook for now.
