I leave in a matter of days!! I can't wait!! So, I have my itinerary as set as it is going to be!! I will be spending the first month in the UK, travelling and visiting family and friends. Then, I will head down to France, Belgium, the Netherlands for some much needed fun in Amsterdam, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, and then swing back up into southern France and the Cote D'Azur. After all of the hullaballoo, I will head back to London where I plan to hang out for awhile!! I may take some short mini holidays to various regions in the UK & Ireland, but I will be getting involved in the London Theatre scene! Hopefully, that will include a few auditions!!
OK... so, for those of you who do not know me, I am also a writer. However, I have had horrific writer's block for the past couple of years. A lot of the problem is stress. But.... there has been something else. Something eating away at me.... I just haven't been able to write. Not anything good anyway. And I just gave up. So, I'm hoping that I will regain my Spark... my joie de vivre...my creative juiciness! Yea... I told you.... any-hoo... I'm hoping that part of this adventure will help me open up and I can start writing again. I have so many thoughts knocking around my heart and head that I NEED to start writing again soon... or I will lose my mind!!
I will finish this post later....

I'm SOOOOO Excited!!!! I Just Can't hide it....
So, I bought my plane ticket this weekend and I leave for europe in a matter of weeks! I'm SO excited! I can't wait!!
This trip means the world to me. I have had a shitty few years. I have been planning this trip for well over 2 years now. Then I was in an accident and tore up my back. Everything got put on hold - the trip, my career, my life. Everything. It took well over a year to get to a workable point. Then I had to put all the little pieces back together, which was daunting to say the least. And I had a few trip ups and I've fallen flat on my face once or twice in the process. Including the ordeal with The Terrible Twat of Times Square and you all know about that! Anyway, I'm finally getting steady on my feet again and things are finally looking up! So, this long awaited adventure is much more than a trip. It symbolizes moving forward and ahead! Not to mention new experiences, new friends, and the unexpected!!
I feel like I've been stuck in quicksand.... the more I fought, the more I struggled to free myself from being sucked into oblivion - the harder and faster I was pulled down. Finally, I feel like I'm freeing myself.
So, obviously, I am VERY excited!! And the next few weeks are going to be crazy!! Once I get more details finalized, I will post them here! But to give you an idea.... I will be spending about a week in London staying with friends, then some time around the UK, staying with family in Northen England, visiting Wales and Scotland. I will then go to Paris, Bruges, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Switzerland (??), and then back to France for the Cannes Film Festival and some Northern France touring! After all of that, I will be heading back to London for the rest of my stay. I will be auditioning, exploring, having a grand ole time! This is just a general idea, but you get the picture!!
So, I will be getting my travel blog updated and I am planning on making regular updates as my departure nears! Once my journey begins, I will update it every couple of days to share pics and stories with everyone!
So.... stay tuned! The Misadventures of Pippa promises to be anything but boring! But when is my life, for better or worse, boring?!?
