PCS - I Can't Help Myself, The Bucket List Begins

I know that there is still a chance that we will not go to Germany, but I just can't help myself. I am so damn giddy about this assignment. My husband has not seen me this excited about anything in a while. I have always wanted to go to Europe and I never thought it would happen.

For the past week I have been talking about all the things I want to do. I decided that I would not repeat my mistakes from my time in Japan. I will not stay on base, but instead be adventurous. For goodness sakes, who goes to Japan and does not go to Tokyo Disney? (this girl) I will learn to speak different languages even if it is just a few choice phrases.

I have already been planning my bucket list. Here are a few of my choices:


Germany - Neuschwanstein Castle

Germany - Rugen (seriously there is a beach that looks like this there?!)

Germany - Black Forrest

France - Lille Flea Market

France - Cote d'Argent (nude beach baby :P)

France - Eiffel Tower (more specifically, I want to sit where that red-shirted person is sitting with some fancy French coffee)

Belgium - Eat Some Famous Belgian Chocolate, while being in Belgium (if you do not know, I LOVE CHOCOLATE!)

Belgium - Knokke Beaches (what!? more beaches! YES Please!)

Belgium - La Grand Place, Brussels

This list is a work in progress. By the time we go, I plan to have a large piece of butcher paper on the wall so everyone in the house can put their places on the list. I will keep you posted with our big dreams. Kailah's number one item is meeting Pewdiepie, number 2: going to Fucking, Austria (pronounces fooking)...gotta love that girl!
