woot! i'm going to europe in june! will be working at a chatau (sp?) that looks like a castle in the south of france, i'll be cooking for a bunch of world renowned writers. no pay though but free airfare and food and board while we're there. then my friend and i will have 1 1/2 weeks to play in europe. we have a layover in iceland, we might stay there for a week or so. i am so excited

thanks for the nice comments about direction in life. it helped.
