Christmas in Europe:

In just about 2 weeks or so, I will be boarding a plane bound from Seoul, South Korea to Amsterdam, Netherlands with my friend Susan! It's interesting how Christmas has panned out the past few years.

In 2007, I spent Christmas in Jeju Island, South Korea.

In 2008, I spent the morning of Christmas in Seoul, South Korea and then flew 14 hours, and spent Christmas again in Chicago, IL.

In 2009, I will again spend my morning in Seoul and then spend Christmas night in Amsterdam!

Our Europe trip will consist of 4 countries, as many cities as possible, all in a quick 9 days.

We start in Amsterdam, spend a few days in Paris, hop on over to Cologne, Germany, stop through Brussels and make our way back to Amsterdam!

Christmas in Amsterdam, New Years Eve in Paris, New Years Day in Cologne! I'm stoked.

Next year, I'm definitely spending Christmas with my family in Chicago though. Hold me to it now!

Christmas Bliss:

With just under three months until Christmas vacation here in Korea, it is time to get my plans together. Having visited most of the countries in Asia, I decided it was time to get back to Europe. It's been almost five years since I've been to Europe and I'm ready for a change.

Christmas plans are finalized and booked. Let me know if you'll be in the area.
