31 Days and counting!

We got our hotels today, check them out online, they look awesome!  I am particularly looking forward to the one in Lucerne, it looks so quaint! 
So, a thought, lets take a song we like, and rewrite it with our own words about our trip! That could be fun!
We are definitely going to shoot a music video in London "Payphone", I have a great idea for it!  We are going to have a blast....let the countdown resume...if June flies by as fast as April and May did, we'll be writing our post trip blogging sooner than we think.

Here are some links to our hotels.

Remember that hotels in Europe are very different from those that you are probably used to, but it looks like EF tours has made some fabulous selections for us!

See you girls on Sunday for our meeting, and Parents and Girls on Tuesday.
