To make things more official, I received my airplane tickets in the mail today. I was getting a little concerned since they said I would receive a confirmation email, and I didn't. But alas, CheapTickets.com has come through in the end.

Destination: Malaga
Woo hoo! I'm officially a world-traveler. Well, as soon as I successfully step foot on the plane I will be. Last Wednesday, I purchased my ticket for a nine day trip to Malaga, Spain. Here's the rundown on the trip thus far:
When is said trip?
February 23-March 4, 2007
Who all is going on this trip?
Dan, Jamie, Casey, 3-oz bottles of shampoo
Where are you guys staying?
Hostels, of course! Cheap cheap cheap.
Spain? Yikes! How much was the plane ticket?
A measly $600. Hey, that's not much in the grand scheme of federal student loans. And I get to go on 3 different flights each way--heck yes!
How will you guys get around?
We're planning on renting a car. Apparently it's about $120 for the whole week.
What will you guys do there?
Casey says, "go to a beach!" Dan says, "see Roman ruins!" I imagine we'll do some of both.
Wait a second, if you've never been out of the country, do you have a passport?
Yeah, I had to get one when we went on a cruise in 2000, complete with a scary picture of myself as an unhappy 16-year old.
How dorky of a tourist are you going to be?
My goal is to be as dorky as possible. I've already got my new digital camera ready to go, complete with carrying case and neckstrap. I'm also planning on obtaining a fanny pack in the near future. My sister reminded me, "don't forget your knee-high white socks and loafers!" Thanks for the support, Bunny, as always. :)

My first attempt at leaving the country....and creating a blog
So, upon request, here is my blog. I know I already have my own website, but this blog will be specifically dedicated to my travels (or lack thereof, up until this point). My goal is to update this blog with pre-, intra-, and post- travel adventures and updates. So stay tuned, because I'm sure we'll all be in for a wild ride...
