Hmmm...interesting option. :) That way, you kill two birds with one stone.

Shoot is this even a real question?? go. And take me too. :p

Have a fabulous time, can't wait to read about it!!!!

GO!

Paris...
 

You should go, without hesitation and or procrastination. If you and your cousintwinsister go together, ya'll can split some of the cost for sure. It's a very beautiful city, but then again, all of western Europe is. Can you speak French? If not, you should take like an intermediate french course, something online or what have you, just to have some basics for when you go. This way, you can understand the exchange flow in regards to the euro dollar and so that you will understand their every day courtesies.

I'm with everyone else on this one--GO! Enjoy yourself, take lots of pictures. There is so much to see and do over there. Now that the opportunity has presented itself, take advantage. If you are certain that you have the finances to cover your expenses without hurting afterwards, not to mention a willing traveling partner (your cousin/twin sister), then I say do it. You don't want to look back ten years from now thinking shoulda, coulda, woulda. Bon voyage and do it up, girl!

And the verdict is....
 

Okay, I've made a decision! Thought I'd let you know.......I'm not going to Paris. At least not right now--since I get my Master's in 2 years, I plan to go to Paris then. I have re-evaluated my financial situation and, after all the money I just shelled out for my senior class trip to Jamaica, I've decided that this just isn't the right time. I'd rather keep that special money strictly for things that I need. That's just what feels like the right thing to do. Maybe if I start setting money aside for it and planning the trip now, I'll feel more comfortable completely committing to it :rolleyes: I'm a little sad, HOWEVER, I'm not letting this summer go without my own personal celebration (hey, I've earned it) so....

















I'M GOING TO NEW YORK!!! :D :D :D I've always wanted to go there, too (ever since the Babysitters' Club days when the girls went to visit Stacey:) ). Since I have enough skymiles for a free ticket, my cousin and I are flying up there for a week, and our first night will be a Beyonce concert! I'll have started school by the time her tour got to Cali, so I wouldn't get to see her otherwise. We're going in August, so that'll be my birthday present to myself. :) Thanks for all the input, everybody, I'll be sure to update you in August on how it went!
