Hi,
I'm Rebecca. I plan on going on a trip through Europe in 2008 after I graduate with one of my friends and we have started to plan and save up for it this year. We are pretty excited.

Thanks!
If I could do it this summer I would, but then I thought that it would be much cooler to do it as a graduation present to myself, and I can go and not be limited by summer vacation time. But we can take our time planning it, thats also a plus.

Welcome!!
For a first timer, it's awesome that you're planning so far ahead, it's gonna give you some time to take advantage of this place and really get some good ideas in. You'll have a memorable experience because of it!!
Always nice to see new faces, so don't be a stranger!
