I’m extremely jealous of my sister and her extended European vacation a few years back (read: study abroad program). She stayed in London and visited Ireland, France, Greece, and Italy, to name a few of her destinations.

How many college kids get to stay in hotels in Italy and see the Trevi Fountain and Duomo on Spring Break? Get to book hotels in Rome because they want to visit the Vatican on a whim? Ride a gondola down the canals and stay at Venice hotels with friends?

I’m sure you can see why I’m jealous, but someday I will pack up, head to Europe, and see all the sites.
