So I know this is a shot in the dark, but what if we pushed broadtrip to next summer and did it to celebrate graduation. We haven't really planned it anyway. And I know this summer will be hectic for all of us. My vet school applications, Derek's med school applications, I assume Sheldon's grad school applications, and whatevery Gingy has going on (sorry... you haven't really told me...) will all be due next fall so we will all be busting our asses to get those rounded off this summer. Plus despite what we thought before, we will all still be here next summer. Sheldon will be back from Germany, I won't be going anywhere, Derek isn't moving to Philly early (I assume...) and Gingy will still be here too. Next summer we will all have graduated and heard from the schools we applied to and the trip will be way easier to plan. Plus, we would ALL be 21 and we could legitimately hit bars and pubs instead of hiding out in hotel rooms. It would be much easier to plan and I feel like it would work a hell of a lot better. Because I'm seriously doubting I'm going to be able to make it work for this summer...
