Needless to say, this vacation couldn’t have come soon enough. I’ve been pretty burnt between the back and having people out at work. I’m not looking at this trip as just a vacation…it’s more of a change of scenery/temporary escape from the daily grind. Truthfully, I haven’t taken a vacation more than 4 days (NYC last year) since I started at eBay. This is also my first time in Europe. It’s funny, that even though it wasn’t initially planned out, I started this trip in Boston. Somehow Billy Bob and I ended up at the Store24 on Harvard and Comm Ave. For those of you who didn’t know me back then, I spent a lot of “quality” time on that block in college (x lived there). It was quite a nastalgic flashback and I think it put me in the right frame of mind to get the most out of this trip.

I’m very excited to be here. Since this is somewhat of a spritual journey, I will be growing out my facial hair for the first time since I had the “Adam Morrison/Gardner” Stache Freshmen year of high school. When I find the cord, I’ll add some pictures of the growth. We are on day 3, so nothing out of the ordinary yet.

Adios Amigos,
