I give myself a thumbs down on that misguided attempt to attract attention....I am forever sorry
So anyways, I just wanted to say hi. I am a newbie.....again....damn. I graduated from college just so I'd never have to be a freshman again, oh well.
I am 23yrs young. I am a guy from the Lost Angeles area of California, USA, Earth. I am going on my 3rd trip to Europe, the first two were nothing compared to this next one this summer.
I'm just posting this to say hello. I love travel forums, and I love travellers. I think that we have a different and, in my mind, very desirable view of the world. We see the world as a whole, a place to be discovered that can teach us unimagined amounts of information. Too many people, at least where I am from, view America as the be all and end all of civilization and I think that it's sad.
I love my country and would willingly die for it. I do, however, reserve the right to not agree with it. I am looking forward to showing at least a few Europeans on this trip that we are not all mindless robots over here who agree with everything our leaders do. I don't wish to start with an argument about the war because I agree with some things and not with others.
I just wanted you members out there in this country and others to know that I've joined your ranks. I hope to enlighten where it's dark, help where it's needed, and shut my mouth when I've said too much.
I think you all are awesome, this is an awesome site, and I hope we can have many good conversations in the future
Cheers

Yes, welcome to the boards, JW.
Where you headed in Europe, this year? And why is this trip going to blow away the other two to Europe you made -- whatcha got planned?
Inquiring minds want to know...

Hell yeah I'll wash the inside, but you may not like the result. I've got a power washer hooked up to a 427 big block chevy. You might need to reupholster after that one ARR ARR ARR
The last two times I went were for 10 days in Ireland one time and 21 days in Italy (Florence, Rome, Pisa, Venice) and London. I was seriously ill prepared for those trip, I really don't know how saw anything now that I think about it. But this summer I'm doing the grand tour. 3 months all over the damn place.
This thing is a year and a half in the making and I am officially going insane waiting for the last 5 weeks to creep by, so I thought I'd share my pain with people instead of just reading your posts.
You all are awesome, I hope to become a contributing member of the family.
