I can help you with it bro, I'm good with planning stuff like this. :D
I got conformation from my dad that I am able to go, he said no last year, wonder what changed his mind.
He says that for Christmas, I'm probably going to get ~$300, I asked him to put it in a saving account for me, so I can continually put money in there, and let it build some interest.
Getting there won't be a issue, I'll probably take a train, The only question is is we're going to go as a group, and where are we going to be staying at.
I know it's nine months away, but better plan ahead, haha.
