T-minus 28 days

       Youngest Brother here, 16 years old, getting psyched for this amazing trip we are so close to. This trip has been in the planning stages since Oct. '13 and its amazing how it has all come together. My eldest brother Jason has been a vital role in convincing our parents to let us go on this trip of a life time. Personally I have never been out of the country besides one time going to Vancouver B.C. for a short weekend. This trip to me makes me feel as when you are young and when you are simply thrown into a pool and its time to either sink or swim. Europe will be an awesome experience.
       I have told many of the teachers and elder people about my trip and the most common response I've gotten is " 50 days?!" (truly only 48). This then is quickly followed up with the bewilderment of how its my brothers and I only. Anyone who knows us well knows, we will be able to handle ourselves, and will get the most out of this trip. A couple people I have talked too have themselves gone to Europe while they were younger, and they said it was one of the best trips of their lives, for many reasons. The most common reason being, the people of Europe don't rush their lives, and the culture over there takes time to stop and smell the roses. This opportunity would have been IMPOSSIBLE without my parents supporting me throughout the entirety of it. Thank you so much!
      Any way there will be more to come!
