So it'a official, I'm heading out to spain for the summer with my daughter. I've enrolled her in a language immersion program in the south of spain and rented an apartment for us. I'm extremly excited to be going back. I haven't been to spain since 2006... four long years away from the only place I've ever felt like myself in.
As i begin planning the trip foor us I can't help but be dissapointed at the lack of information for single parents traveling with children. There doesnt seem to be a source of support ofor this type of travel... almost as if one is expected to stay home and be miserable when you are a single parent.
I have high hopes for this trip. It will be just Mika and me. I can't wait! I'm sure there will be plently of interesting moments to write about... especially with her. ...shes such a character.
This trip also represents something different for me. A change if you will, It will be the first trip where I actually plan on being responsible and visiting historical sites and appreciating the culture. Perhaps this signifies that i have finally transitioned from an unruly adolescent to an adult.
I can only hope that Mika will appreciate all the things this journey has to offer. She has gotten so wrapped up in pop culture that im sure she will suffer sever culture schock without the disney channel or tv for that matter....

Time for change
Today i woke up to that all too familiar feeling... I need to get away. Some people have drug, gambling, alcohol addictions; i have an addiction to traveling. The need for a change in scenery. I need the air to smell different. I'm not really sure when this began, but something tells me it was fostered by traveling with my grandparents all the time when i was little. Some of my fondest memories involve packing up a suitcase and disappearing with my grandparents for weeks at a time.... to this day thats all i really need to be happy.
