This blog will be about my latest escape plan.... leaving my job to become a grad-student and moving from Cambridge,MA USA to Cambridge UK. There will be both blue and gray sky moments as I try to fumble my way through my new surroundings and an ocean out of my comfort zone.

As you Wish....Birthday Wish.

Things have been very good, lab-work could be better and I am a bit spent with rowing activities but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

What is helping me through this and the fact that I am being taken away for my birthday this weekend. I am sooo excited and happy to be seeing some of the UK and to be spending some nice time with my um.....new friend MG. ;)

MG is so sweet and a few days ago he said he wanted to take me away for my birthday. I was shocked and thought...oh there must me something happening that will prevent me from doing this…...but no. I said, "Oh well, um let's see ....actually I can't think of a reason why I can't and I really want to do this! I am sooo excited!"

So he said "Ok pick a place and I will get a car and take you there"....for those of you at home...this is a huge thing and you know why (hint....I am not driving for once in my life) :)

He brought me a map of UK and said, “Ok pick a place and we will go.”.....this was the nicest thing ever, I didn't know what to do. At first I was really ambitious picking far away places and he always smiled at every suggestion saying, "what ever you would like...we will go."

Ahhh just saying this and the gesture makes me sooo happy....this is my closest moment to the Princess Bride "As you wish."-moment ...what most girls dream of.

I looked at him and said, “you know if we don't get to go and things come up, I wouldn't even care because I am just so happy right now and it is fun thinking of places to go.” MG looked and said..."that is nice of you to say...but don't you worry we are going to go". MG is a do-er not a talk-er. I like this!

I picked my place somewhere I have never been and that is not too far away so we can have some nice time out of the car. I wanted sea/ocean, a castle, old buildings, open market, good restaurants, cute shops, and a holiday feeling.....and this place should deliver all.

He said that we are going to be spontaneous and hotel-shop when we get there and whatever hotel I like we will stay there.....I am so excited.

It will be a wonderful way to bring in my new year!
