Things I learned since the last time I went to Europe in 1996....
1) I have a better looking passport this time. In my last photo I was wearing a purple sweat shirt (gross on the attire, but I love purple).
2) I don't have to worry about the exchange rate....it's all Euro.
3) Always bring a roll of toilet paper with you. (You do indeed need it. Especially since some bathrooms charge for toilet paper).
4) People may not be too fond of Americans, that's why I have a bag with pins around the world. Hmm I may even have an American flag on there somewhere.
5) I no longer need a hair dryer (less to pack, plus it's easier).
6) I may actually get travel insurance this time.
7) I still don't know a foreign language completely....but I will wing it.
8) I need some good looking shoes I can stomp around in.
9) Having some sort of an idea of places to stay in different countries could be a good thing...or we could just wing that too.
10) Coffee is better over there.
11) I love beer from everywhere now...I think in 1996 I liked crap beer.
12) Well I guess I didn't learn too much.
