Spring break beginneth!
Mar. 18th, 2005 02:40 pmI'm shocked that I can say this, but: it's another beautiful day. I broke out the capri pants and sandals.
I turned in my papers, cleaned off my desk, washed the pile of dishes that have accumulated in my room over the past several days, and now I'm obsessively writing down every tiny little detail about getting to train stations from airports, hostels from train stations, etc. for Switzerland and Austria. I bought another notebook especially for all this stuff; mostly because my trusty take-with-me-for-random-jotting-down-of-stuff notebook is running out of paper, but also because I'm anal like this.
And I think I finally figured out how to buy train tickets online from the Swiss Rail site! Woot! You can print off the tickets and everything. I'm going to buy my Lucerne->Salzburg ticket from them in a couple days, when they open up sales for the day I'm going. It looks like it's only 45 Swiss francs (worth about 85 US cents, which means I finally found a European currency to which the US dollar is FAVORABLE, WHEEEE!) for Zurich->Salzburg, plus probably 20-ish for Lucerne->Zurich. Hooray. Ellen, given how frequently the trains run between Basel and Lucerne, we should probably just buy that ticket when we get there, as I'm really not sure how long customs, etc. will take and I don't want to have to buy two tickets.
And now I'm going to pick up the book I won for completing Bowman's Irish Cultural Literacy Quiz (I also won lunch in Dublin or Galway 'cause I answered the most questions correctly--hooray for having done papers on Irish nationalism and Anglo-Irish relations over the past several years) and get some munchies at Spar. Then I'm going to make some more Wonderfalls icons, 'cause I totally made a whole bunch of screencaps last night. Is a good day.
