SKYPE ME!

Attention all friends, family and strangers with webcams!
(Actually, just friends and family)

I am now an official "skyper" in other words, I got a webcam and signed up for a free account on skype.com so I can talk for free over the interweb with all my loved ones and strangers with webcams.

If chatting live with yours truly across the pond (and the Mediterranean) sounds like fun, follow these instructions...

Click here for a youtube video explaining how to set up skype

1) Set up (or buy) a webcam. Any sort will do, no need to get all fancy pants.
2) Create an account and look me up! Just type andreamacy (one word) into the contact finder and click the Andrea Macy from Bellmore, New York.
3) Send me a message via skype as to what time and date you'd like to skype chat with me and viola! Free video chat!


Just thought you'd all like a heads up as to how you can contact me. Of course I also check e-mail macyandrea@gmail.com and snail mail info will be up shortly!

Stay tuned!

Table of Contents

Greetings! (From my couch in my living room on Long Island...)

Okay, you got me. I haven't left yet. In fact, I haven't even left the couch yet today. I've been watching a National Geographic Channel special on identical twins. (Don't worry, I start my job at Bellmore Bagel Cafe tomorrow). The reason I decided to post today was to give an overall description of my upcoming trip(s).

Here's a table of contents for the future of this travelblog...

Chapter One: The Homeland
On February 3rd I will be flying on the Brockport group flight to Heathrow Airport in England. A mere six hours later I will be on another plane to Israel (aka the land of milk and honey). There I will work on a Kibbutz for two months. While I am not yet sure which Kibbutz I will be living on or what job I will be doing, I'm sure it will be fun and I will let you all know when I do know.

Chapter Two: The "Other" Homeland
On March 25th I will be starting my tutorials at Oxford University . I will be studying the comedies of William Shakespeare, Play Reading and Creative Writing. (Mom and Robyn will be visiting during Passover and we plan to travel to France.)


Mind you, this is only the broad plan. I hope to go to many more countries and experience many more cultures than just Israel and England.

Hopefully, Mary,Rachel and I will get to travel to Spain and Belgium. Perhaps the Harlequins Crew and I will make it to Ireland. Only time will tell...
