I decided to take this trip to Germany because I was not able to go abroad during my time at A&M for undergrad... So many of my friends have wonderful stories and experiences to share and I'm looking forward to making memories of my own! I'm so excited about the group of people that I am going with... I know we are going to have a blast!
I think my expectations are pretty typical for a trip of this caliber... I think we will be able to see lots of really unique and gorgeous places and I know that not everything we plan will go accordingly. I do enjoy planning, but part of the fun is making decisions as we get there. Exhibit A: We are taking the first weekend trip to Amsterdam which wasn't originally in the plan, but will be much more affordable than going to Rome. I think we are still going to have a blast and probably be able to see more of Amsterdam because it is a smaller, more intimate city. I'm excited to see Anne Frank's house! How interesting! As for the bulk of the trip, I am very much looking forward to all the programs that Dr. Wasser and AIB have put together. I know that we are in good hands and I love the veterinary relevance. Afterall, that is why we are taking this trip right?
I don't have too many concerns on this trip, however I really do hope the weather is nice! I think no matter how many times you pack and repack your bag, there will always be something that you wish you had more of. For example, the forecast says 70 degrees for the next 10 days in Hannover, so I'd like to pack less long sleeved things, but the minute I do, they will have some freak blizzard. Ha! That's the fun of it I guess... I know there is also the anti-American sentiment that has been circulating around Europe, and so I will just need to be extra aware of my surroundings! Luckily, we will have a great buddy system and Kati and I stole Chris for our Amsterdam weekend!!
