Now that the holidays are over I need something to look forward to again. Thankfully I solidified plans with my Mom over the break for an exciting trip to Europe in June!
After an all night flight we will land in London, England on June 9th and spend four days exploring. It is my first time to England and my Mom's first time to Europe so we will likely do all of the typical tourist things (suggestions are welcome!).
After our short time in London we will fly to Split, a coastal town in Croatia, for 6 days. I'm excited for lazing on the beach, water sports and hopefully a sailing trip to some of the Dalmatian islands off of the coast. I am also looking into nearby national parks, architecture and ruins as options for day trips. Lastly we will travel to Croatia's capital, Zagreb. I know the least about Zagreb but look forward to finding out what the city has to offer. I'm sure I will post more details as we make decisions but after the booking frenzy last week I couldn't wait any longer.

Two Off the List
In my second year of college I got a job at the information desk. Because of the nature of the job, my boss focused a lot on how we could build our soft skills for the future. One of the things she highly suggested (i.e. forced us to do) was attend Connect workshops, a series she created for just that purpose. While I don't remember what the results were for my personality test, who I met at the workshops or any of the ice breaker games, the workshops opened me up to participating in other similar exercises.
In January I did a one hour questionnaire that asked me to write down things I wanted or valued from a list of characteristics and aspects of life. In addition to that, the questionnaire wanted me to write a list of things to accomplish in the next five years. At the time I thought it was probably a waste and that I would throw the list out or find it many years later, but instead I found it a few weeks ago. I am happy to report that I have accomplished two things on my list. Not only did I take a web course, but my work paid for it. In addition to that I joined a recreational volleyball team and am back to loving sports. I didn't think I missed group sports, but after smiling through the entirety of my first two games I am convinced.
Next up on the list is a trip to Croatia and learning to scuba dive, here's hoping I can accomplish both on an amazing trip to Europe.
