I don't want to go here I just want to know why Discovery Park got 5 stars. It's 4 square feet of beach that smells like human feces. The tower of Pisa got 4 stars yet this gets 5.

Stay at Justin's house, then head out to Sea-Tac, flight leaves 6pm. Maybe even hit up the casino before we go?

Bath, United Kingdom
Notes
Flight lands in London in the mid afternoon. Then we hop on a bus that takes us out to Bath for like 5 bucks. Gives us time to recoup from the trip I guess.

These are the baths, this is really important because it has the address on here, if we didnt have this information it would be difficult to find the Baths while in Bath.

I just want to get my picture taken here. Hopefully by some British person that reminds me of Austin Powers and we will mumble and laugh and say baby. But alas I'm sure it will just be some old couple from Oklahoma.

Saturday will be our opportunity to go to Soccer game, I guess I don't even know if they play soccer then but they should play on Saturday. We also have to option to go on Sunday because I know football that's a sport is played on Sunday so maybe their thing is on Sunday.

I've really become a big Steelers fan this year so it only seems right to see their QB. I'm joking I hate the steelers. You think Ben Wallace and Ben Roethlisberger argue about this clock kind of like the "Slash and Crash" guys?

I don't even like Heineken, the beer isn't very good and it upsets me when words don't fallow the i before e except after c rule. For example I hate the word weight almost as much as I hate their beer. But we can sit here and drink for an afternoon.

City
Brussels, BRU, Belgium
Notes
This is set up as a free day. If we're still having fun in Amsterdam we can stay and skip this. But it's still a pretty good trek to Paris from Amsterdam and this splits up the trip nicely. Plus if we get the train pass we looked at transportation is covered.

I just put this on here because it's right by Paris if we make it cool, if we're doing something else cool. I'm just a big fan of Louis the 14th.

Zermatt is where the Matterhorn is located. It's like 40-miles from Interlaken, and I think it would just be really cool to see if it's as nice as the one in Disneyland.

Well I gave you the ability to edit the trip, pretty powerful tool right there. Other than Kabul does the trip seem ok? I wanted to go to the Budapest Grand Prix but alas we will miss.
