Anyone who knows me well is aware of my disdain for Valentines Day. In the weeks before I find myself crying over touching Hallmark commercials, and wondering if someone is going to send flowers (preferably tulips) to my office this year. But then I remember my Valentines past and the disappointment and humiliation that I have always felt. Last year I spent as much of the day in bed as possible with my phone turned off, waiting for the 15th when all the madness would be over so we could all forget about love and...

I am going to link to a website...

I did not have a good meal the entire time I was there (except for one bowl of soup) and spent a majority of time walking around in the cold, dreading returning to my hostel. I took no pictures and bought only food and drinks. Dates: October 26 - 29 (3 days) Flight: British Airways (I would definitely recommend British Airways. They even give you a complimentary newspaper...
