in my (sometimes) humble opinion

So I’m going to Europe. In five days. I’m kindof freaking out. I’ve never been and have wanted to go to France since… I don’t know, a long time. We’ll be in Barcelona for a week, then Paris (!) for a week. I’m pretty much assuming it’ll suck ‘cuz I don’t want to have high expectations that will never be met. So any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been reading everything I can find that might be of use on Rick Steves' website, and I’ve recently discovered that the very little French that I thought I knew is mostly wrong. Hrm… So let’s see, the worst that could happen is our flights get screwed up, our luggage gets lost, we get ripped off, scammed and pick-pocketed, our hotels suck, I’m hungry the whole time because I can’t communicate that I don’t eat meat, it’s hot, crowded and dirty, I come home stinky, tired and broke. Woohoo, I’m going to Europe!!!!!!
