Undergrad coming to a close, planning this summer's vacation!

As the undergraduate classes have now wrapped up forever, there just remains my 3 finals. And then that's it, it's done. Well, only to return late July/early August for grad work, but it's a very different feeling and structure, I'm excited.

I recently had a Skype conversation with Anna regarding our summer plans. So my grand after-undergrad vacation is actually a string of swing dancing workshops across the US.

May 25-28: Camp Jitterbug, Seattle
June 1-3: Stompology, Rochester
June 7-10: All-Balboa Weekend, Cleveland

I would have considered All Balboa Revue in Montreal on June 16 ish, but I'm convocating :P

Planning will go about as such. I leave Waterloo around the 18th, bus to Chicago (eventually South Bend). Stay with Anna for the weekend, go dancing, (possibly join her for Notre Dame lessons). Travel begins Sunday, stop in Des Moines. Day 2 of driving hopefully get to Yellowstone National Park, sleep there, day 3 hike a bit, then drive to perhaps Glacier Lake National Park (weather permitting), sleep and hike there. Day 5 would be driving to Seattle. Insert dancing and drinking coffee here. On the way back from Camp Jitterbug, Anna stops in Des Moines for her brother's wedding, I fly out to Rochester on the 1st for Stompology. Have a blast there, drive back with Julie-Anne. Stay in Waterloo for 2-3 days, then drive out to Cleveland with Dave and Amanda for ABW.

Yes, it's going to be intense, but intensely awesome! In addition to travel, starting grad work, there will of course be UW Swing Club, which will be like a nice 'coming home' kinda feeling I think. :) People are great there.

Oh, and in September will be the Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown again because I absolutely adored it last year. So far it seems like Dean, Erika, John, and Mark in the Hamilton/Waterloo area are going, in addition to many Torontonians.

I'm super excited for my summer vacation and everything that coming up, I have a few potential plans, but they're still in the very baby stages, so I want to wait to see if they'll be successful before I announce them.
