Europe or bust!!!!

In our Institute building there is this huge old-looking map of the world.  Micah and I always stop to admire it and talk about where we would go if we had the money.  The last time we were talking about it we thought about backpacking around Europe.  At the time it was just talk--something exciting to talk about that probably would never happen for a long, long time. 

Well, today I decided.  We're going. Next summer right before medical school. Micah doesn't know yet, but I KNOW he will be all for it.  He probably thinks that I would never actually do it, but I'm going to prove him wrong. I might be a little crazy, but I want to go. I want to do something amazing that we can talk about for the rest of our lives.  I want to be like Loreli and Rory (if you know what I am referencing, you are outstanding). 

Now, I need your help.  There are birthdays coming; Christmas is coming.  Hello people! Perfect opportunity to help us toward our goal instead of buying us another gift!

EUROPE OR BUST!

On a completely different note, why do people always backpack in Europe? Why do you never hear of people backpacking across Asia or Africa or Antartica?!?
