I can't believe I went to Europe to begin with, but yep, I'm back from my 25-day tour. First of all, I have to say that I was able to enjoy my time in Europe because Megan (aka Snarky) was blogging for me. She is so talented and kind and funny and trustworthy. I knew that the site was in good hands. THANK YOU, MEGAN! :)
Europe is the land of beautiful people, ridiculously delicious food, and a completely different, more relaxed lifestyle that's conducive to having a great time. Always.
I went to Dublin, Wales, London, Amsterdam, Paris, Switzerland, Florence, Pisa, the French Rivera (Nice, France), Monaco and Barcelona. It was the trip of a lifetime for me and I enjoyed virtually every minute of it. I even spoke Spanish like a rockstar in Spain which stunned me! I took Spanish classes forever ago, but it all came back. Plus I HAD to speak it cause people pretty much speak Spanish only in Barcelona - including all the taxi drivers.
I visited places that I never thought of visiting and/or never thought that I would get the opportunity to like: Shakespeare's house, Stonehenge, the Guinness factory, the Heineken museum, a "live sex show" in Amsterdam, Anne Frank's house, Buckingham Palace, the Eiffel tower, King Louis XIV's castle, a perfume factory in France, and more. I also got to meet up with Amy of Amy Grindhouse in London, where she lives, and we had a great time.
In my fantasy world, I will be returning to Europe next summer. I just love it. Now that I'm back, people ask me what my favorite place was. I'd have to say I LOVE Amsterdam, Italy and Spain the very most because they have the friendliest people, great party atmospheres, and the food in Italy and Spain are life-changing, ha. But I like London, Paris and the French Rivera for nightlife, museums, food and fashion.
The entire trip was wonderful, and I was in a group of 50 mostly fantabulous people. But now I'm back to my daily grind; I thought I would just wanna do more chillaxing, but I'm excited to be back to work. As always, thanks for Pop on the Popping! :)

We love you so much girl!
So glad you had a chance to recharge your batteries. The site was in good hands and everything was ticking over nicely while you were gone (as in, no riff-raff moved in and started trashing the place).
Also, it was so great to meet you in London too. xoxo
