And this was one of the easier trips (includes wait times):

Bus (New Haven to New York) 6 hours
Plane (New York to Heathrow) 7 hours
Bus (Heathrow to Stansted) 6 hours
Plane (Stansted to Bergamo) 2 hours
Bus (Bergamo to Milan) 2 hours

Milan: Though the exotic image of a post-modern Rodeo Drive was brutally thrown to shit, Milan is still, despite the graffiti riden walls and trash-covered streets, quite nice. Also, perhaps elevated by the fact that - through my dog-sickness and complete apathy for Europe in general - the two days in Milan I spent will be two of perhaps the most memorable of my life. Thanks for a beautiful time, and for a romantic way to let go...

Lubeck: Cute town, but I'm now stuck in the shittiest living conditions I've ever seen at a music festival. Counting the days until I can get the fuck out of here....

Since when did the fucking London immigration line become like an amusement park wait??
