London Bridge and French Macaroons Anyone?

So about a week from today, I will be leaving for a trip of a lifetime with a dear friend to London and Paris. Many of you may not know this, but I was actually born in the suburbs of London and moved to the US when I was about eleven. I remember rainy, cold mornings hopping on a local double decker to get to school in the mornings. Local fish & chip shops and bakeries boasting cornish pasties, around every corner. And occasional drives through the city, where my dad would point out the famous London Bridge or Big Ben through the car windows. I also remember frequent day trips to Paris on the ferry (cruise-like ships crossing the English Channel) where we’d spend the day roaming the famous sights of France and stocking up on delectable treats.

I’ve been so blessed to have parents that have taken me to several countries around the world to experience so many beautiful cultures and breathtaking landmarks. However, this “euro-trip” we have yet to name – will be my first big girl vacation financed by yours truly, which makes it that much more special to me. As of right now, our itinerary includes a few days in inner London, Bath, Stonehenge, Oxford and last but not least Paris. I cannot wait to submerge myself in the history, food and nightlife that each of these cities has to offer! And of course, I will be blogging and perhaps even vlogging for most of my trip 🙂 If any of you have recommendations for my trip please leave me comments, I’d love to take any suggestions on things to do!
