Test Post

This whole blogging idea is a new thing for me but I figured it would be the easiest way to keep people updated on my whereabouts this summer. I’m doing a test post right now to see what this is all going to look like and figure out what exactly I’m doing… I suppose I’ll start by explaining exactly what my plans are for the summer. I am traveling with a group of U of U students to Spain to study Spanish abroad. Becca and I will be flying out of SLC on May 15th arriving in Madrid on May 16th. We will spend a couple days in Madrid and then make our way up north to Oviedo. We will be living with host families until June 23rd. From there a group of us will be traveling around for about ten days and then flying back to Salt Lake from Rome, Italy. Right now to prepare for my travel abroad this summer I am getting the last details in order such as: where exactly we are going to go after our time in Spain… The only thing we have figured out thus far is that we have a return flight from Rome… I suppose that’s all part of the adventure right? Regardless my lack of plans has my mom in a panic thinking I’m going to die in Europe… which may or may not be a fair assumption on her part.

Assuming I make it home from Europe I have a couple other travel plans for the summer. A week after I get home from Europe in July our family is headed to Sun Valley for the Utah State Bar Convention (dad has been asked to give a few speeches at the convention). After Sun Valley Maya and I will be traveling to San Francisco and thus preparing ourselves for a long road trip up the California coast and hopefully into Canada before heading back down to Anacortes Washington to visit Guemes Island for our annual vacation there. When we get back from Guemes I will be going back to school in a week. Hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze in a few days in southern Utah and then I’ll be back in school ready for some Utah football! One last trip that is in the works for the foreseeable future is during during fall break. Lucky for me fall break happens to occur the week I turn 21 so the obvious question is where would a 21 year-old travel for fall break? The answer is: Disneyland. Kalee and I are going to drive down to southern Cailfornia and begin our fall break with a couple days on the beach. After soaking in some sun (hopefully) we will then travel to Anaheim to spend a couple days at California Adventure and Disneyland! The Univeristy of Utah Utes play football against UCLA on my birthday that Saturday so we will head up to Pasadena to cheer on the Utes before heading back to Salt Lake to finish up the fall semester!

This blog thing is turning out to be quite a bit of fun. I never realized how much I would have to say…. Although I probably should have figured this would have been the case considering how much I have to say in real life.
