T-Minus 7 Hours

We're just about ready to go to Europe. On our 10-day trip, we're traveling to London, Paris, Lucerne, Venice, Florence, and Rome. The entire Gonzalez Gang* will travel: Lisa and Mark (ages unknown), Ryan (beyond my years), Joey (18), and Sierrah (16).

Joey almost already lost his wallet. Okay, I accidentally took his wallet for about an hour. Let's just say it was a hectic hour.** :)

As part of our trip, our parents are requiring*** us to put together a project. We each have a city where we're responsible to be the tour guide. Here are the project guidelines, per my mom's e-mail:

The city that you picked will have to include the following questions answered and researched to obtain you spending money.
1. Some interesting history about the city
2. What to see
3. What is around our hotel
4. Something interesting to do in the town
5. A hidden treasure****
6. Two people that are from there that are famous
7. Language hey speak and learn to say the following that language
a. Hello / Good bye
b. Thank you
c. Please
d. Where is the bathroom?
e. Whats the best wine?
f. Is it vegetarian?

Must be one full page typed and will be read on the plane out to NY
Here are the rules for your adventure, must only take 2-4 hours of our day and not cost more that $200 each. So do your research wisely, if you sign us up for a cooking class or gondola ride or anything else you find interesting you need to make sure it is available on that day and if they recommend that we make reservations. If we need reservation you need to let me know asap, so I can let the travel agent know to make reservations for us. When we are in your city you get to choose places to eat and basically be our tour guide.

We'll try to update this blog as much as possible. Cheers!

*Not an actual gang
** In my defense, our wallets look very similar
***By "require", I mean they dangled spending money in our faces.
