Hey everyone!
Celebrating the end of 2014 just would not be complete without a trip to Europe.
This year, I am blessed enough to be returning to my favorite city on Earth...London, England!
I have been to London a few times, so the city is very familiar to me. I am actually past the point of wanting to go visit the traditional sights of London. I have done all that and know the city so I can't wait to just stroll around the city and explore areas that I haven't been to yet.
However, I will be returning to some of my favorite spots such as the National Gallery of Art, the Portobello Road Market on Saturday and Speaker's Corner on Sunday.
I also will be going to my favorite spot in the whole world, which is the Peter Pan statue in Hyde Park near Kensington Palace.
We will be staying near Russell Square and have stayed there before though I will be interested to go back to Earl's Court and wander around there to reminisce the days of studying Shakespeare with Georgetown as I did a couple years ago.
London and I have a truly special bond because of that trip so I cannot wait to get back to a truly glorious city.
We will also be there for New Year's Eve and I am super excited because two of my Georgetown teammates will be there. Emmie Derback played volleyball with me at Georgetown and is spending part of her vacation in Stockholm before joining me in London for the New Year.
Vanessa Dorismond, another Georgetown volleyball alum will also be joining us as she is visiting her sister in the United Kingdom.
This should all make for a truly lovely and exciting New Year's and vacation in general.
As always, I will update you all on our days spent being British!
That's all for now as it is close to being time to go to the airport to start the trip.
Gimme that Buckingham Palaceeeeeeee!
