Just woke up to the most amazing news. Overnight I received an email from Kassel, Germany to say I've been accepted to study there on a cultural exchange to their University. I'll be studying German language and German literature ( eg: the Grimms Brothers - visiting their museum and studying the gathering of the tales we all know and love). Once my 3 weeks of study is complete, I plan to visit Neuschwanstein Castle and a few other places around Munich and Stuttgart.
THEN.... its off to Disneyland Paris for 3 or 4 days and into Paris for the rest of that week. Then a week in London to see the Harry Potter stuff at Universal, West End, Bath and Stonehenge.
AND .... the best part for me is, that a few weeks after I had applied, my daughter Millie also applied... and she also go into the program as a History major, so will be studying the language and their history. So while we will be separate entities on the study program, we can travel together afterwards.
Scarily, I now have to arrange flights and EVERYTHING else over the next two weeks ( while I'm doing Uni finals ) as we fly out Boxing Day. Yes... 9 short weeks away.
