To Capture the Castle! And try not to get thrown off...

Whelp, we're on our way. Our destination: 15th century Romania and a little place called Transylvania. Our goal: discover the 'real' Dracula, (he can't be that bad, right?) In our backpacks; the essentials and everything we learned from years of vampire movies and Ann Rice novels, (or two and a half viewings of Interview With the Vampire. I can't be bothered to read...I'm not a LOSER!):
1) Stakes for killing Dracula just in case he is that   bad
2) Garlic for warding off Dracula
3) Garlic for bland foreign food
4) crucifix, (thanks to Ryan's Catholic upbringing!)
5) Holy Water, (again Thanks to Ryan's Catholic upbringing)
6) An abridged version of Bram Stoker's Dracula on tape
7) Coppola's '92 film Dracula, (I don't read remember?)
8) Portable DVD player and one of those strange European plug-in converters
9) Laptop for por...er posting to this blog
10) Room for souvenirs!!
Note: No food or drink will be necessary as I have taken the Bear Grylls' Man v Wild quiz and received a 75% and will act as our historian and survivalist.
Here we go; off to discover the truth. We will stop at nothing. We will face hardship and tribulation. We will face danger. Don't worry about us though; we have each other. We have our hours of preparation and experience. We have cell phones and credit cards. Just remember one thing, many of you will call us heroes and I believe I speak for Ryan and myself when I say...we are.
