Extended Plans... (I overuse ellipses)

Once again, in l'informatique at school, with some time to kill.
There seems to be a grip of la grippe going around at the moment, and le rhume is a-roaming, basically that means I'm trying to avoid the flu and a cold, although this computer room doesn't seem the best place to do that.

I ended up not going to the Absolut Lounge the other day for the Franco-American exchange, choosing to sleep instead, but tonight there is some sort of degustation meet and greet between us California kids and the Bordeaux-Los Angeles club here in Bordeaux, though itll soon be renamed the Bordeaux-USA club. Now at this wine-tasting, I've been told it will most likely be us 20 year old Americans speaking French to 40 year old grenouilles (frogs) who will respond back in Ingleesh...

Now for the fun part, I have a break that begins on Thursday Feb 24th, and ends Sunday March 6th. My two week obsession with going to Morocco has subsided, and old ideas have resurfaced. What's gonna go down now:
Feb 24: Train a Grande Vitesse de Bordeaux à Paris, sleep in Paris, stay with
Ethan (vagabond friend), and see Dave Minc (housemate at Berkeley)

Feb 25: Fly from Paris Beauvais airport à Katowice on Wizzair, take 1 hour bus
to Krakow, Poland, all by me lonesome

Feb 26, 27, 28, March 1: Krakow and surrounding areas, including a day at
Auschwitz-Birkenau, and just exploring, Wawel Castle etc.

March 2: Fly at noon from Krakow to Dortmund on Easyjet, take train from
Dortmund to Amsterdam, where I meet back up with Dave and Greg Sherman
(from U. Michigan)

March 3, 4, 5: Amsterdam with me two chums.

March 6: Train from Amsterdam à Paris à Bordeaux, at which point I collapse
from exhaustion!!!!!

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that throughout, havoc will ensue.
