Let the planning begin!


Today is the beginning of a long and drawn-out process. Today is the beginning of almost a year of saving all extra money. Today is the day I taped some paper to my bedroom wall. If you go back through my blog archives, you will see exactly what taping some paper on the wall really means. Okay, I'll spill the beans for those of you who are not in the loop. This is my trip planning wall. It's something that I've reserved for only the biggest of trips that require planning. Each 8.5x11" page represents one day of my vacation. This format allows me to meticulously plan each day down to the hour in an analog format. Sure, I can and probably will also plan digitally with Google Calendar, but important information can easily get lost in a cloud within itself. Whereas with a schedule that forms most of my wall, things cannot get lost.

So what am I planning, you ask? Its been almost three years since I had the trip of my life to the English countryside, so why not go again? I'll be attempting to procure the almost impossible to get tickets from Glastonbury Festival for the 2016 edition in October. Then I'll spend eleven nights exploring the capital of the United Kingdom, London. In 2013, I got to see some amazing bands, like The Rolling Stones.

It has been over a year since I last posted here. I hope to keep this blog updated as much as possible leading up to and including the trip.
