My fall break plans:
I think a picture serves best my excitement! Myself and three girlfriends are going on a Mediterranean Cruise for fall break!!!!!!! I'm freaking out a little myself. We leave from Barcelona on the 18th of October on the 'Royal Caribbean: Voyager of the Seas' and sail to Nice, Florence, Rome, Naples, and Palermo (Sicily) followed by a day at sea and return to Barcelona. I am so incredibly indescribably excited. We got quite a deal because we are all fitting into an interior room. Really the most exciting part are some of the excursions to the beaches of Nice, Monte Calro/Monaco, Pompeii, wine tasting in Tuscany, pizza tasting and Tower of Pisa and tours of Rome. So I'll keep everyone updated on plans and such but I'm so happy the cruise and the flights are all booked and will have to settle into the idea that it's not just a dream.
Anyways aside from all that today was my first day of classes. I had 'History of London' which is a dual course: taught in classroom and through field trips. We go to about 6 local museums, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey among many others. Should be lots of fun! Continuing to adjust has been interesting. Going to the food store and not recognizing any brands can be frustrating, I miss Jiffy PB, and Heinz Ketchup, as well as Orbitz spearmint gum (they have funny flavors here such as 'melon banana'). The saving grace of the food is 'Whole Foods' located just 3 blocks away. Three stories of wonderful edible things. I'm sure I'll adjust to food here eventually, just staying away from the beef...I tried a burger 2 nights ago and really have never missed Ray Cafeteria so much in my life (Ray is my PC cafeteria and by no means a five star restaurant).
My roommates moved into school yesterday! I am nostalgic of the past 3 years and cannot believe I'm not there to decorate and clutter the room, I'll have to entrust that to them. Anyways I'm certainly starting to miss you all very much and love you keeping in touch so much (makes me feel not so far away)!
Lots of love
xoxo Kate

How amazing Kate! I was on the phone with mom while you were planning with dad. I can't wait to see pictures. Italy is one place I have not gone yet.
Seems strange you having classes on Labor Day. There will be a lot of holiday's like that as I remember when you all lived there.
Enjoy. Love ya,
