soooo, any idea of where we want to go next?? i am super stoked on the progress we have made so far... ladies, we are kickin some ass on the prep work!! go us!

anyways... i have heard talk of goin south... is that what we are thinkin? any ideas, thoughts, or anything on the subject would be awesome...

i will have like 3 days to kill after we leave the 'dam... i dont think it will be economically sound for me to buy a eurail pass... so i'll probably prebook my tx for exactly where we go next...

i have heard good things about Belguim... should we go to Brussels? Or sneak over to Germany n Luxemborg? Im pretty much down for whatever, but I do wanna hit up some belguim before heading for Paris. It's be nice to have our last night with Shar in Paris, but i don't know if we'll move south that quickly...hmmm thought? anyone?

Well, I guess I'll talk for Natalie because she has not been responding to the BLOG!! I know Nat has bought a europass for Amsterdam, France, and Spain.... I think.... Don't hold me to that. Anyway, I like the idea of going to Belgium. I might still have one of my friends there. I'm not sure if she came home, but I'll talk to her and find out. Yaaayyy! We should start looking at hostels in Brussels!

what about booking beds for london? are we waiting to hear from people whether we can stay with them? or should we all get beds at the y?

yes, nat has a pass that covers spain, france AND all of: Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxemborg. All 3 of those countries=1country for rail passes, so THAT might be a deal for shar...i dunno.

Okay guys, I'm writing on behalf of Natalie because she's super busy with school, and doesn't have time to write to us!! I had a quick conversation with her yesterday, and she said that her friend anna is not coming to England or anything, but Melanie is. We both kinda agreed that we should find out where Pearl and my uncle Franny live in England because it would suck if we were all staying in different parts of London. Is pearl actually in London? Natalie was under the impression that she was in Suffix? I don't know. If you, Lauren, could let me know, that would be great. Then I'll run it by my uncle and ask what he suggests. Other than that, Natalie's down with what we've planned so far. She hasn't bought her Rail and Sail ticket yet because her mom thinks she can find something cheaper. I don't think so, but I told her that even if she does find something cheaper, she and Melanie can always meet us there... no biggie. As for after Amsterdam, Natalie is also down for Brussles and wanted me to mention that it might be worth it for Sharon to get a pass for Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxemborg.... I don't know, it was just a thought. Sharon, do you have your heart set on going to France? Cause if so, we need to figure out what we are going to do...

Anyway, I know we talked about other things, but I can't remember them at this point. Does someone want to look into a hotel for the last night in Amsterdam? Are we all gonna try and cram everyone into a room? Do we think we could get away with that? I guess we could try to get a room with two queen sized beds, and then say we have four people, and then sneak in two more. That wouldn't be too bad, would it? Anyway, let me know whta you guys think, cause we should probably book it soon. And if we're going to Brussels, we shoud be looking into booking something there, too. Okay, input everyone!!

im down for going to brussels also, it will work out wellfor me to get a eurorail pass. Im up for whatever, but i dont mind skipping france, ive been before. so what day are we looking for a hotel in amsterdam, the 25th or the 26th?

I might have a contact of someone me and shar can stay with in london, but i do think its a good idea if we all are in close contact, so lets find out which area people will be in.

awesome! uuumm, no pearl is in London now. She already graduated from the university of Sussex, where she used to live! sooo, I don't know exactly where she is but definitely in London. I asked her about nat/I staying with her for a few nights. She said before that her place was small, so I want to make sure its cool with her before I ask her where she lives in London. She has a london address, though, I know that. so wherever everyone is, as long as we're all in london, we should be pretty easily connected by the underground, no?

Kelsey, if you had a contact too, we'd be set! also, we can always utilize couchsurfing!! I am down for that!
