Off to See the World!

Amanda and I leave in two hours to catch a bus for Luton Airport. Then we will take a four hour nap before we check in for our 6:00 flight. There was no better way to get to the airport, and this was the cheapest flight, so no sleeping in a bed tonight! We will be a wreck tomorrow. Hooray for being young and stupid. We will get into Amsterdam around 8:30, check into our hostel, and then go exploring for two days. Hopefully we will be able to meet up with a girl Amanda has met through her Truman Scholarship interview process. We are also going to find the house where her grandfather grew up. Then, on the 26th, we are taking a sleeper train to Prague. When we arrive, we will find our hostel there, and then again, go exploring for two days. Then probably a bus to Vienna on the 29th, where we will stay with a woman we met on couchsurfing.com. Parents/Grandparents, I haven't mentioned this because I am a little wary of it myself, but we are staying with a woman close to our age, and other couchsurfers are staying with her. On a limited budget, we figured we'd give couchsurfing a try. Plus, we figured that it would be more safe since we will be together. If it is extremely sketchy, I will get in contact with Blackmer (who I am sure we will see, anyway) and beg his house mother to let us stay with him. We are flying back to Luton airport on the 1st. So there's our very rough itinerary. Keep us in your prayers!
