: : Okay, so I'm planning a trip. Well, okay.. For those interested, here goes.. I've always been fascinated with European culture, and for years the idea of spending a few years traveling across Europe has been rolling around in my mind. I think I've finally made my decision, I'm thinking of leaving some time next year (late Spring or early Summer) and I want to backpack across Europe. There are so many things I want to see and those I've talked to say it's almost a religious experience. They say that life is so much slower (in most cases) and they don't take things for granted that American's do. I want to experience it first hand and plan on spending a few years. I've talked to a couple of people and they all seem to think it's an awesome idea; I look at it like this, I'm 18.. At this point I'm old enough to do it, yet I'm young enough to do it without much if any repercussion. So yeah, you'll all be without Gabe (and I'm sure you'll all miss me :D) for a while in a few short months. Blah, anyway, the entire point of me posting this was to ask a simple question. I've been looking online and can't find anything about boat travel. I've flown a lot but I've never taken a trip on a boat, so I think it'd be an awesome way to kick off the experience. Does ANYONE know where I can find information about a trip from say.. Somewhere close to SC on the east coast or gulf of Mex. to ANY European country? I've checked all the travel sites, Expedia, Travelocity, etc. but no luck. So anyway, thanks in advance..

: but when I get a chance, I shall e-mail you. I know quite a lot about traveling, being the son of a travel agent, and I have been to quite a few places around the world. I might be able to give you some good advice, or I could ask my mom if you have any specific questions. I could also send you brochures, if you are really interested in a certain location.
: Hey, if you have AIM, my sn is whynotsmile99. I keep forgetting your damn screen name. I dunno if its on my buddy list or not
If you don't mind, ask if she knows of any cruise ships that may span the Atlantic. And I'm UberProduzent, by the way.
