Sounds like fun. But the ONLY reason why I even bothered to leave a comment is because I learned something during my Poland trip, which was also during spring break... I learned that you can have access to the American networks that are blocked when abroad, if you hook up your computer through the vpn network...
yes i am at your blog, but you likely know that cause you are a creepy stalker. i like the posts and pictures as well as the fact that even i do not know the names of 1/2 these places.
