About this blog

I am doing my own version of study abroad this summer, without the studying. Since my dad has sisters in both England and Japan, I will be traveling to both places and staying with family.

My first stop is the UK where my Aunt Pam lives as well as my three cousins, Jon, Al, and Tom with their respective families. This is a familiar destination for me as I have been there multiple times to visit and for weddings!

After two weeks in the UK I will venture on to Tokyo, Japan where Aunt Pat (my dads other sister) and Uncle Gary live. I am not entirely sure what lies ahead for me in this foreign land but I know that Pat and Gary have much in store for me!

Friends and Family, I hope that you enjoy my blog. I am without a Facebook (my usual form of internet communication) due to sorority duties and thus I hope to stay in touch from here!
