Less Than 1 Week to Go
It's late Sunday night, and only 6 days until our wedding. I'm certainly not experiencing the cold feet that many grooms feel, however I am a bit overwhelmed as there is a lot still to do. Besides last minute wedding stuff pertaining to music, chairs, final counts, etc, we are all set. The really overwhelming stuff has to do with our pending trip to Poland. Besides finding a place to live over 4000 miles away, we also need to arrange visas, transportation, and I need to get my paper together and ready for presentation. All this while having to clean my mom's house and plan a honeymoon. Talk about stress. With Emily's help and a one day at a time attitude, we should be ok though...I hope. Check back in a few days for the obligatory pre-wedding freak out post!

An Addendum
As an addendum to today's post, I wanted to state that this blog will now take the form of a journal chronicling the lives of Emily and I as we prepare for our wedding, our honeymoon, and ultimately for our move to Poland. I personally welcome everyone who chooses to follow us on this interesting journey!

Times are Changing!
So I haven't posted in like 3 months. Terrible right? Well a lot has been going on. But I am back for good now, and I have a lot of new stories to share. First off, my lengthy absence was due to a number of factors, including my Father passing away, and my fiancee and I moving back to the Detroit area. We moved because I GOT MY FULBRIGHT GRANT. This means that come August, the Traveling Attorney will be blogging from Poznan, Poland!!
Besides that, we have been feverishly planning our wedding which is a mere 10 days away. Following the wedding, pictures will certainly appear here!

The Last Few Weeks
So, for the last few weeks, I have done a little bit less blogging than I would have liked. With a final exam, a final project, and a trip to Florida all on the agenda, blogging has understandably taken a back seat.
Since I last blogged, my life has moved forward on a number of different fronts.
1. I traveled to Florida for spring training. Highlights included: Getting some nice 1st class frequent flier upgrades, receiving a free rental car from Delta, watching the Tigers win 2 games, getting some nice weather, meeting an MLB scout and getting free baseball tickets, and seeing Cirque Du Soliel.
2. The wait for the Fulbright notification is in its final stages. Last year, applicants to Poland found out in early April. My fingers are perpetually crossed.
3. Wedding planning is, as always, stressful. Since my parents and my fiancee's parents are splitting the bill, there are way too many opinions to consider! In the last week or so we have dealt with issues ranging from a rehearsal dinner with too many guests, trying to find someone to actually perform the ceremony, and tacky wedding shower favors! Having the wedding in Detroit while planning it from Cleveland has certainly contributed to these issues!
4. A new class at BU has begun that will involve numerous class members reading this blog! Welcome to all of you! Please feel free to comment.
Until Next Time.

So this is a bi-weekly blog now?
Maybe it is. These are busy times in my world, so your world gets less of me. Anyway, today is not so busy, so I've decided to hang out for a while.
Today's entry will be my long anticipated (at least by me) travel list. I've wanted to make this list for a while, and since no one actually reads this blog, I've decided to follow through! Without further ado, here is the official Traveling Attorney travel list! Remember, if your favorite destination isn't here, it's not because I hate it; I just haven't been there yet.
1. Czech Republic (Prague and Olomouc)
-Prague is majestic, magnificent, and completely beautiful. I'd live there at the drop of a hat. Olomouc is Prague's cute little sister. In Prague eat at Bohemia Bagel. In Olomouc visit Cafe Mahler on the Horni Namesti.
2. Berlin, Germany
-This place caught me by surprise. Maybe the smallest big city in the world. In other words, she's livable. Comes in below Prague due to overall lack of beauty and age. When there, please eat at Tattoia Gussippe di Pino on Waldstrasse.
3. Krakow, Poland
-I've been here 5 or 6 times and always want more. A smaller version of Prague with vodka instead of beer. If you visit, GregTom Hostel is a must.
4. Amsterdam, Netherlands
-You can do a lot of stuff here. If you visit, please don't do all of it.
5. Dublin, Ireland
-kind of cold, kind of like a small town, but way cool. The people are nice, the beer is nicer, and the atmosphere is top notch. Don't miss the chance to visit the old Gaol and the Guinness brewery.
6. Tokyo, Japan
-History and modernity converge to make beautiful babies. Go to Tokyo. And if you do, see a ball game at the Tokyo Dome, party in Rippongi, and stay in Jimbocho.
7. Honolulu, Hawaii
-Beautiful, and have family there. Guess I'll have to return.
8. (TIE) London, England and New York, USA
-Hard to choose between the two, so I didn't. Both are world class in every way-including prices. If you find yourself in either place try and stay with someone you know!
10. Copenhagen, Denmark
-Beautiful small town with history, a cool vibe and a famous mermaid. Would be higher if a cheeseburger and beer didn't set you back $20. If in town, check out the pink and turquoise colored movie theatre. Good times!
11. Budapest, Hungary
-Maybe should be higher, but somehow isn't. The place is beautiful but a little harsher than Prague and Krakow. Plus most of the city has been rebuilt. If there, check out some hungarian goulash and the Posta museum.
12. Hiroshima, Japan
-Interesting place to go, as it has been rebuilt in a totally modern style. If you go, make sure to check out the mangled building that survived the a-bomb, the a-bomb museum, and catch the Hiroshima Carp baseball team!
13. Munich, Germany
-Only spent a few days here while taking the LSAT test which may affect ranking. Beautiful rebuilt city with sweet beer halls and a Frankenmuth style ambiance (If you're from Michigan you know what I mean.)
14. Tallinn, Estonia
-Mini Prague. Black Sea. Hell Hound Bar. Good times. If there, spend the day at Kik in Da Kok, and relax in the evening at Hell Hound.
15. Orlando, Florida
-Tigers baseball and 70+ temps. in March. Can't beat that with a stick! If there, head to a ball game!
16. Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
-Cool downtown, sketchy outskirts, great all inclusive vacation options. Go to Tequila if you visit!
17. (TIE) Edinburgh & Glasgow, Scotland
-Ranked them together because that is how they appear in my mind. Edinburgh has one nice castle.
19. Kyoto, Japan
-Kyoto is the cradle of Japanese culture and history. Don't miss it, but don't spend 2 weeks there either. If there, go to the Ninja house.
20. Vienna, Austria
-Beautiful, regal city. Hard to compare to Prague, Krakow, or Budapest.
21. Moscow, Russian Federation
-I only spent 2 days here, so my ranking probably reflects that. Moscow is vibrant, intimidating and totally interesting. Please visit Lenin's tomb. Creepy.
22. St. Petersburg, Russian Federation
-I spent 5 weeks here, so my ranking probably reflects that. Great downtown and the Hermitage is the worlds largest museum. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT head off the beaten path. I spent my 5 weeks in the suburbs and was glad to emerge in one piece.
23. Riga, Latvia
24. Bratislava, Slovak Republic
-See above
25. Helsinki, Finland
-The brochure said that the city has over 700,000 inhabitants. In my 2 days here, I probably saw 3 of them. Really, really sleepy place. If you go, check out the really white cathedral!
Others: I've visited and enjoyed other large American cities (Chicago, Boston), lived in a few medium sized American areas (Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, Grand Rapids), and traveled through numerous other small European towns and villages. Since the primary focus of this list is to flex my travel muscles and show superiority over all other travelers, these places were omitted. JUST KIDDING. You'll see these other cities in a completely different list sometime in the future!
Until Next Time,
