Summer Travel Plans.

Now that Spring Break is truly over, I'm starting to think about what I want to do with my summer - I literally think from holiday to holiday!
Sorry parents, but it's only the truth.

After I get turfed out of my accommodation (one of the downsides to living on campus) on the 24th of May, I've got about 6 weeks left in the US.
My visa runs out on the 3rd of July, so I've got until then to explore some more of America. 

 Obviously, I don't HAVE to stay for the entire time - but wouldn't it be fun?!

By then, my room-mates will, fingers crossed, have a house here in the city so I can crash for a few days (honestly, I don't know how I'd cope without them - it would be a struggle to say the least!).
I'm sure I'll be tying up loose ends, getting rid of some of my stuff, etc.

Also in that time, I'd like to go up to Lake Tahoe, and see a bit more of the surrounding area - I don't know how I haven't been to Santa Cruz or Big Sur yet, because they're not far away at all!

After a week in San Francisco, my plan is to fly from SFO to Las Vegas on the 2nd of June to meet up with my best friend Rachel.
 I'm also going to be 21 then, so I'm prepared for a full week of hilarity and partying with her in Vegas!

Re-living times from our NYC adventure in summer 2010, no doubt.






I also really really want to go to the Grand Canyon during this week - another thing to tick off my American Adventure list!

Excitingly, my room-mates are also looking at being in Vegas towards the end of that week.
Obviously, I think this would great - it'd be so nice to have one last celebration (for all of our birthdays) with them before we go our separate ways! We're still trying to work it out, but I hope it all goes to plan.

Afterwards, I'll probably end up coming back to San Francisco for one last time.



It'll be sad to leave such a great city, and all of the friends and memories I've made here.
But you never know, maybe I'll be back one day!

On the 20th of June, my lovely little sister Emi is finally able to fly out and join me in the States - since she didn't get to come to San Francisco with my family recently, I'm twice as excited to see her in the summer!

We're hoping to do long-ish trip, and our plan so far includes:

- Boston.

- New York.

- Niagara Falls.

- Toronto.

We're still working out the details, but we'll be trying to see plenty of things on a budget - no doubt we'll be using megabus and airbnb to our full advantage!
Once we've got everything finalised I'll definitely inform y'all.

Note: What terrible news about the recent bombings in Boston. Attacks like this happen far too often in America.
My thoughts are with everyone in the city of Boston.
