Travel Channel....
So, right before I went to Vegas last year, I was pissed because it seemed like months before my trip all that I saw on those channels were Vegas stuff, but when you get it all planned out and then want to watch shows on it, they are nowhere to be found....
well, same with this trip!
I mean, I remember seeing endless food network, Rachel Ray with that god-awful laugh traipsing all over Ireland and London giving Americans a bad name, or Giada De Laurentes doing all the wine and cheese tours in Italy....and now, we have a trip planned and every other show on food network is Bobby Flay picking fights with with these poor people who are trying to make a living selling grilled cheese in middle of butt-f***ing egypt and for some damn reason on the Travel Channel they were having POKER Tournament Marathons!
I thought it was bad enough that Poker had a fricking link on ESPN.COM, but now it is preempting a European special I could watch that would show me all the places we could go to if we had a job :)
okay..venting....done...

Venice....
Okay, so we are doing a day in Venice on Saturday May 31st!
I have been spending some between studying time reading about some of the history of some of the art we are going to see, I am very excited....this is going to be really amazing.
I mean, you have to see the sketch by comedian Eddie Izzard who talks about Americans and our lack of contact with true history.... "They redecorated that building to how it looked 50 years ago! No way..no one was alive then!" :)
I am excited to see original pieces of art, sculptures, buildings from 1,000 years ago!
....I am being serious, this is not a feeble attempt to intermingle some 'nice' posts amongst the booze, amsterdam and speedo talk of earlier posts....so as to make mom happy :)

Scotty Doesn't Know
Working on a take home final for my Constitutional Law class and watching EuroTrip!
Sort of gets me excited but also a little nervous. I guess don't go to a sex club in Amsterdam that gives you a free t-shirt with flyer, don't start a fight with soccer hooligans in London and when traveling to Munich, Germany make sure you don't overshoot it and end up in the Eastern Bloc! Oh and watch out for creepy French men on the trains when the cabins get dark in the tunnels...I'm just saying...
I am sure this movie is completely accurate!

Done and done!
Property test done...four more to go, then Europe!!
Sigh....excited, anxious....
I believe Brian (BJ) is finishing up reservations with our hotel in Capri! It looks pretty cool, fairly cheap for the area, which is nice, we just need a bathroom and a place that has a lock on the door!
I'll post pictures of the place when we have it set! I'll forward out our itinerary when we finish it up....as said before, Venice has been shrunk to one day.
BJ & I both need haircuts bad, but we're waiting it out until as close as we can to the trip, BJ has got the length to where it flips when he has a baseball cap on ... mine is just shaggy and not attractive.
More later, including updates on the sick speedos we are getting!
