Spring Travel

Random Fact: "All Sunderland students, even international ones, are covered under Universal Health Care. So, if you need to see a doctor you just fill out a form proclaiming which doctor you want to see ahead of time. It takes only a few days to sign in with a doctor and if you're already a signed patient then you can make an appointment."

My travel buddy and I made the final plans to where we want to go. She has become very ambitious and wants to travel through 5 countries in 3 weeks. Yes, very stressful, but it would be cool to see Europe and I don't want her going alone. Here are the places we plan on visiting: Paris, France; Madrid, Valencia, & Barcelona, Spain; Venice, Rome, & Milan, Italy; Switzerland; Munich, Germany. Crazy, but I hope we can pull it off.

I am so glad that I can travel and have it not cost hundreds of dollars per flight. I was talking to the American Studies major today and he wants to go to a school in Boone, NC. I told him that we didn't have a good public transportation system (especially in the south) so he would either have to travel by plane, car, or by greyhound bus. He wants to visit NYC, LA, and all sorts of big cities, and I hope he is able to enjoy the U.S. when he gets the chance to visit.

We seriously need to have a company like EasyJet for the US. I mean, my Uncle was looking at ticket prices to fly round trip from VA to WA and back and it would cost over $600! I hope we can develop a better transportation system one day. Especially since I don't have my license.
