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. :)

Your blog is already so much cooler than mine.
I am so excited for you to go to Spain and to see your pictures and live vicariously through you. Yay. :)
I actually just got an update on Prague today. OSU is not hiring me as pro dramaturg but is giving me the opportunity to go on the trip with the group discount. I have approx 4-5 days to decide. I'll keep you posted and promise that I will call soon, hopefully this weekend.
