On Friday I received an update with less than two months until my Halloween travel adventure, and the excitement is starting to build. In the past few months I've been promoting my Vampire Vacation to the most infamous land of the unholy, Transylvania (Romania), to many people and some are just as excited for me to return as I am in going.
I have been given a wonderful oppurtunity which I'm very excited about. Dr. Elizabeth Miller who is a leading expert on gothic literature and President of the Canadian/US branch of the Dracula Society wants me to keep a journal just as Jonathan Harker does in Stoker's 1897 victorian novel 'Dracula' and she will publish it in the official newsletter the society puts out with its home office in Bucharest. I've received a hand signed copy of her book and information she provided to me will enable me to take an initiation tour in 09' that she, herself attended some years back for knighthood in Transylvania, a noble in other words that sees only around 3 or 4 annually attend I understand. I am poised to begin organizing this adventure as soon as I return. I will be sure to post pictures every step of the way, it is hard to imagine but all true. Fitting that my favorite Digimon is a dragon warrior that evolves into the strongest holy knight. Vlad III Draculea was in his lifetime, son of Dracul meaning son of the dragon or devil and a knight of the sacred order of the dragon sworn to protect the cross from the enemies of Christ. If I succeed I will bear a coat of arms and official seal from the head office in Bucharest so it's a once in a lifetime oppurtunity that began almost two years ago, what an amazing journey and it's almost time.
I've been informed that the ACTUAL airline departure tax/fuel-security tariff for my trip this year is $424.62 USD but the deadline was very unexpected, September 10. This means I'll be charged an additional $50 because I can't actually send the final expense until the 18th. Thankfully the airline itinerary hasn't changed so I won't have to change my tickets for the connecting flight to NY a second time. International travel is insanely expensive these days, even the roundtrip connecting flight from Oklahoma to NY/JFK cost nearly $650.
Outbound from NY/JFK I will arrive in Frankfurt, Germany on Tuesday, October 28th and finally land in Bucharest, Romania later that afternoon to officially begin the tour. I'm excited because my family is German on both sides so it'll be a wonderful chance to see the homeland of my ancestors, my grandmother traced our tree all the way back to the 1700s.
That's what's currently going on, I'll use this topic to actually share my story when and IF I return. They say some of the guests don't show up on film and if your "smitten" or bitten you may have to ride back alone. I visited an optometrist back in June and got my prescription filled for the theatrical medical contact lenses I'll be wearing for the annual grande masquerade in Piatra Fantanele on Halloween, Stoker's Castle for the fictional vampire and will be a Lost Boy from the 1987 cult phenomenon with full prosthetics and dental acrylic fangs. More later, see ya soon!
