This trip is a long awaited jump into craziness. I want to see more of the world, and learn more about the culture surrounding my ancestors. Even more to it, I am traveling on a bit of a fan crazy trek. This trip started when a new friend and I put together a trip for London.

My part of the trip grew, as I realized I had not had an extended vacation since I was working part time. I work full time, 45 hours a week. If you add in drive time, 55. Over the past few years, my company has had to deal with customers changing from the nice people we liked, to the demanding people that forgot how to treat people. I have been denied promotions do to low staffing in the end, just to train the manager they brought in. So work has me stressed to the max. 

My car has had two things this year, one was very expensive and the other not so bad, but more stress. 

And finally this year, my dad's health had a scary moment. A moment where I didn't know if I would have him home again. 

Loss and death have left a hard to heal from
place in my life, so the entire last month was Hell


Anyway, back to their crazy trek. I start by flying to NYC. I go they're often. I'm using JFK to jump to Dublin. I won't be staying, but they have the best option to get to Hamburg. There I plan to see my favorite play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at least 3 times, while enjoying the culture of the city. My goal is to see the show a total of 60 by November, and Hamburg is the only one achievable that I haven't see yet. 

I also want to get to a concentration camp I found I could go see while there. Germany's dark time makes me curious to see how well they learned and rebounded. 

I then head to London. My friend and I start with the normal touristy things. Tower of London, Westminster, Buckingham and the Eye. Then after we rest up; the Harry Potter Studio Tour, Moulin Rouge and Cursed Child again. 

The Next morning we will take a train up to Scotland, where we will go see The Hogwarts Express. I can't wait. 

Then it's back to London for more sight seeing and another show. 

My friend leaves me that Monday and I head to Belfast. While there I will do the Game of Thrones Studio Tour, Titanic Museum and go see all the scenarios there to see. Such a. Beautiful place. 

Then I come home. That's it all done.

I had been saving, I got the flights, hotels and plays tended. It's the food, transportation and any extras we need help with. This trip is my first escape from this rollercoaster year that has only began. I would appreciate all help given. I know others have needs greater than mine, but any penny helps!
