About Me
- Amy and Laura
- We are sisters who like to travel together. Five years back, we took a road trip across the southern states of the US (Southern Journeys). Then we went on a three month back packing trip across Europe the next summer (European Journeys). Besides a fun but brief trip to Hawaii, it's been too long since we've taken a trip together. But that's about to change! This summer, we are going to road trip up to Alaska where we will then live (Northern Journeys)! Amy will be there for four months, and Laura will stay there for two years!

For those with phobias of z's, q's and semicolons, I've mapped the French keyboard layout to English, yielding a readable version:
After lakes district, we went to Canterbury. The town was cute, not too much to say about it though. We liked the hostel a lot, we made friends with a girl from California. We also went to a sing along pasta night, held by a very amusing Italian man, which was really really fun. We wpent the day following in London, and slept that night in the airport, (cheaper) and flew into Frankfurt, Germany the next morning. We had a hoorrrrriiiibbbblllleeee day in the beginning, a lot of difficulties with finding the right trians (did you know they speak germanM), and we were already tired and we couldnt get on the cruise up the rhine that we wanted, so all in all it just wasnt the best. BUT luckily we got to Dusseldorf, our destination, and were able to relax and eat in a little courtyard, and therefore the day picked up nicely.
Dusseldorf was difficult, because we dont speak german, but it was cool to be in a foreign speaking country, its been a while for both of us.
We then headed to Bruges, which was a really cute, but really touristy town. We walked around, and it was gorgeous, lots of water channels through the town, nice brick buildings and streets, but it closes very early. Like, if you think edmonds closes early, go to Bruges. Like...the grocery stores closes around dinner time. REDICULOUS! Sadly it rained, but we were able to make it out when it was dry, which is lucky.
Then we had a long day of travelling to Reims France. We chose this place just becuase we needed somewhere to stay before we headed to Amsterdam (tomorrow). We chose a route with about 5 seperate connections because it was free, compared to reserving a spot which cost a lot of money. This meant that we went to smaller towns, and we were in a LOT of places where NO ONE spoke English. THAT MEANS I HAD TO SPEAK FRENCH!!!!! it was crawy. One of the trains was on bus replacement, and we had to wait for two hours in a small station. We didnt arrive in Reims until 9pm, and were worried that the hostel would be closed, and even wrose, we didnt know where it was so we had to go and find an internet cafe, which is rare here.
Anyway, Reims is really nice, we spent a day wandering the parks (there are a lot), then today we looked at the town center, which has Notre Da,e Cathedral. Which was awesome looking.
Sorry for the bad englihs, just blame the french, everyone always does. Its just so expensive and SOOOOOO slow to type with these three keys to different (others are wrong too, but you dont use them as much). Were headed off to go camping in Amsterdam, so thatll be an adventure. We may not have internet in Amsterdam, depends on the price, so well get back to you when we can.
On another note, our grandmother Beryl Wilson just passed away, and we wanted to make note that she will be greatly missed and that our hearts are with our family. WE LOVE YOU!
