My Postponement

Alright. Here's the deal:
In the planning of my trip I picked a bunch of places I wanted to see; I neglected to really look at the places though.
I've been in Dublin for three days and I'm already bored.
I'm coming home for like a week, then going to Italy, then coming home.
I'm taking all of my money and putting it into my "money market account" to build up interest, then actually sitting down and planning a real trip.
I really messed up that aspect of my trip. I mean, what the fuck am I going to do in Berlin for a week with hardly any cash?
I'm in no way cancelling my trip; I'm merely postponing it a little. I want to do it with at least one other person, and I want to actually take time and look into places to visit.
I am also going to reduce the time from two months down to one. I've thought about it all day yesterday and came to the conclusion today.
It's not merely the matter of being alone, but really the fact that I'm alone for two months with hardly anything to do.
I want this to be exciting and eye-opening. Unfortunatly I neglected to plan it that way.
I'm going to finish out the week here and treat this as a vacation.
Then on September 18th I'm going to Italy for a week with my mom. So I'm not completely wasting my time with this. I am still taking this all in and appreciating it.
I made the decision myself, and I know I'm going to be glad I did.
I will admit that I was so excited to backpack that I neglected to really plan the trip I wanted. I based my trip around the idea of getting out there, not getting out there and living.
