My Dream Trip To Europe

Upon receiving a plane ticket to Europe, it is with great anticipation and excitement that I will soon board a plane and start my exciting journey to the place where I have dreamt of going for many years. For as far back as I can remember, my dream has been to travel Europe and see the cities of the old world. My dream is to travel Europe and just explore the continent at my leisure.
