Dreams do come true.

It has been months since I wrote last. I'm sorry.
All my adult life I have dreamed of travel to foreign places. Finally, my dream is coming true. EUROPE, the place where many of the guests come from at the hotel where I work. EUROPE, the land of history, the land of our forefathers.
The reservations for the flights are all booked and paid for. Hotels in Rome, London, and Paris are reserved and paid for. Train schedules are deciphered. Luggage is planned. The boss has been notified when I'm leaving. Friends in Europe have been notified when I'll be there.
This trip will be something I'll remember for the rest of my life. As I sit here writing this blog, I'm thinking of the places I'll go, the people I'll meet, the historic statues and buildings I'll visit and photograph, and...the food I will sample as I make my way through the many restaurants available in each city.
As the time to depart comes closer, I find myself nervous with anticipation. I will do my best to write some of my impressions here each day. I will post a few photos here to show where I've been and what I have done. My Facebook page will have more of the photos posted. I will do most of my blog while travelling on the trains between cities, so there will be something new to read here each day.
Keep in touch, folks. I hope you like what I will put here. Until next time, The Yukoner.
