Denmark...finally

I was supposed to be leaving for Denmark on Friday, but sometimes plans just don't work out the way you hoped they would. Now plans are set for Dec. 17 - Jan. 2. It's going to be cold...really cold. I would definitely have preferred to do my solo travels through Scandinavia during the warm summer months, but I guess I will just have to settle for the cold winter months. I'm excited, but not as excited as I initially was when I was first planning this trip. I sure my excitement will grow as the months pass and my obsessive need to plan takes over.

I have a lot of saving to do, which is going to be difficult as I like to spend. I refuse to rely on credit cards like I did last winter for my New York vacation. That fucked me over for months afterward. A large hotel bill and airlines tickets, I never want to be the person who has to front all the money again. At least this time it's just me so I don't have to carry the weight of others. I really need to not be so generous. Life will have to take a back seat for the next four months, but that really shouldn't be a problem for me. I will just have to hang out at home and save, save, save.

So now the planning begins. What countries to visit, what sites to see, transportation, and lodging; there are a lot of decisions that need to be made and I can be quite indecisive. Denmark seems so far away, but time will fly and it will be here in no time. I can hardly wait!
