Ignorant Crap + Key Learnings

Mom, Mark, and I attended a complaint meeting on the first floor:

1. We miss half a day in London, because our plane doesn’t leave until 6:00 P.M. The other tours leave in the morning.
2. We get no lunch or dinner. And we have to drive to Rotterdam, visiting and paying entrance fees to ignorant crap along the way.
3. We miss the Shakespeare tour now – all because Globus overbooked - and we have to stay here in Holland an extra day.

It’s really a bitch, but there is absolutely NOTHING we can do, except make the best of it. It’s not Oda’s fault; it’s Globus’ fault! Bummer!
Everyone is getting pretty damn tired of being a tourist (including myself). I want to see London, but I’m all ready to go back home and RELAX!
I know one thing: If I ever come to Europe again, I am not going to go on a tour. Don’t get me wrong, I knew what we were in for, and it’s great the first time (a little taste of each country). But I would like to work on my own schedule, see and spend time where I WANT, and skip the rest.
I’m just thankful for the lucky opportunity to come here. I’ve broadened my views on a lot, and also increased my interests considerably. The main thing I’ve learned, though, is that: America is NOT the ONLY place to live.
