awww thank you so much for sharing with us! I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself.

 

How long did you stay in Europe?

We were there for 2 glorious weeks. The time flew by!

The trip was AMAZING! Everything worked out perfectly. We arrived in Budapest and made our way to our hotel which was right in the middle of everything. We stepped out the door to the Hop On Hop Off tour so we could see the entire city.

The festival is awesome! It's a lot like Coachella but the people were a lot more fun! What can I say about Mika? He is one performer that always puts on an incredible show and each one is a favorite for completely different reasons. This show was no exception. He played all of our favorites and the crowd was insane! We were pleasantly surprised that the tickets included meeting Mika! My daughter and I both agree that Mika was exactly how you want famous people to be! He took pictures with us and sat for a long while talking about his tour, things he is working on, the countries we were visiting and gave us tips on what to do at each location. He is vary gracious and we know it couldn't have been easy after just getting off the stage. I am so lucky that I got to share this once in a lifetime experience with my daughter.

We continued our trip by taking the train to Vienna and then to Prague. We saw all the sights and walked until we fell into bed each night. We took tours but to get the real feel for the cities you need to walk on your own. We saw castles, churches, woods, cities, ruins, monuments, strange and wonderful stores and cafes that served delicious cakes and coffees. We took cruises down the Danube and Vltava. I could go on and on and not capture how lovely our trip was. It was definitely a dream come true.

I promised that I would check back in once I booked the trip and I have not forgotten. It's been quite a tragic year for our family so it's taken us a while to pick a place. We are now ready to move forward and we have booked our trip! We leave for Budapest on Thursday to see Mika the Sziget Festival. We have extended the trip so we will also be visiting Vienna and Prague. We are excited beyond words and are really looking forward to the show. I will check back in once we get back. =)

Thanks! Italy is beautiful and definitely one of my favorite places especially the Almalfi Coast but I would love to see somewhere new. I will get back to Italy eventually. We are anxiously waiting for the places he will play. We both LOVE Mika! Even though I am new to the fan club I am not new to Mika or his music. I appreciate all the kind words and wishes and I hope people weren't upset. I read some posts that made it sound like people were not happy but I really have been a fan for years. =)

I've been to Singapore and loved it. I am from Southern California.

I saw him at the Wiltern in February 2008 and the Palladium was in October I think the year was 2009. I've never been to Australia but if it's anything like New Zealand it is more than nice. =)

I was thinking Asia as well. The Palladium was fantastic. The first time I heard Mika was in a club in France...I fell in Love! Right after I got home he had a show at the Wiltern and I knew I had to go. I keep waiting and waiting for him to come back to LA. I guess if he won't come to me I will be ecstatic to go to him!!

I saw him at the Wiltern and at the Palladium....both were awesome!

I will definitely take pictures and post my experience. I just told my daughter and she is ecstatic. We have only seen Mika twice since he doesn't make it to LA often but both times were incredible. Thanks again for all the great remarks. =)

Thanks everyone!!! I'm soooooo excited! It's the best news I've had in forever!!!
