A travelling holiday

This is just a short intro to what will be a longer post in a few days. I am now on my final vacation of the year and this one is a great one! It started on Friday, April 3 after 12pm when I was released from school early. Hurray! I spent Saturday, Sunday and Monday in Scotland with Dawn visiting. More on that in an upcoming post. My very good friend, Chris, from the Chicagoland area arrived in Paris this morning (Tuesday) and after it took me forever and a half to get to him from an airport in the outskirts of Paris that I flew into from Glasgow, we reunited for a fun filled 7 day trip he is spending here. We spent the day today walking around Paris with 2 suitcases which was challenging and entertaining. After a 3 1/2 hour train trip on the super fast train from Paris to Montpellier, we arrived just a short while ago for some much needed rest. I slept about 3 hours last night since my flight from Glasgow was at 6:30 am (forcing me to be at the airport by 5 am). Chris did not sleep at all on his overnight flight to Paris from Chicago so he was exhausted. We are resting up since tomorrow afternoon we are leaving for Barcelona. We will be there Wednesday, Thursday and returning late on Friday night. Saturday will be spent sightseeing in Montpellier. On Easter Sunday, we are taking the train back up to Paris to see more sights in the evening. Monday is totally devoted to Disneyland Paris!!! And Tuesday....Chris returns home and I make my way back down to Montpellier. Dawn will have already returned from Scotland by now. On Wednesday, we are both going to spend the night in Nice, France. The plan is to go to Nice on Wednesday, spend the night there and spend a few hours in Monaco since it's so close and return very late on Thursday night. The weekend should just be a resting weekend since it's back to school the following Monday. Anyway, specific posts will be added when I have more time but I wanted to at least post my upcoming, busy travel plans.
