Where in the world is Hector F. Miranda?

Welcome to my trip journal! I have been planning a trip to Europe and South America for a long time now I have finally bit the bullet and decided to take off and make it happen. If not now then when right? I am starting off in Europe and going form there. My itinerary is planned through July 15th. After that I will be playing it by ear. I have a return flight to Houston scheduled for September 30th and plan on ending the European segment of this trip with Oktoberfest in Munich Germany. Once back in Houston the plan is to head back out to South America for most of the 4th quarter of 2010. Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil...pow chica wow wow......... I'll be sending out updates periodically. Please follow me along and keep me company on this trip. If there is anything you want me to check out or anyone you want me to see while I am out and about please send me and email or respond right to this journal. The first leg of my trip is a tour through Amsterdam, Paris, Lucerne, Chamonix, Nice and Barcelona. From there I join a second tour group in Pamplona for the San Fermin festival to live out a longtime dream of mine of running with the bulls. Wish me luck!
