Part 2 of my summer has been confirmed! I'm flying to Belgrade (Belgrade!) on July 31, hanging around Serbia for a week, then heading down to Guca for some brass music and slivovice, then taking an overnight train to Greece to lie on a beach, eat fish and chill with my family. I return to London on August 28.

I got a pretty good deal on my ticket. I'm flying in and out of Detroit, which took the price down a substantial margin. I fly to Belgrade with Air France via Paris, and then fly back from Thessaloniki via Athens (with Olympic) and Atlanta (Delta).

So I am basically taking two trips for the price of one: I'm not paying for my ticket to Africa, and once I get to Greece my expenses will be covered by the Bank of Mom and Dad.
