First stop: Amsterdam

Greetings! We've just completed our first day as tourists in the lovely city of Amsterdam. I'm at an Internet cafe and running short on time, so I'll have to make this short, but hopefully we'll have more updates soon (and photos)!

Ok... We leave tomorrow... and am I packed??? no... of course not!!!!! That would be too easy :)

This is a picture of my bed... oh boy!!! When am I going to get to bed???

Well, I don't really have anything special to say... I just felt like this blog deserved a post since we are flying out at 1:15 tomorrow!!!! I'm still trying to convince myself that I'm going to be gone for 6 whole weeks... it just feels like a weekend trip or something!!!!!! I'm bringing my laptop for sure, so this blog will get updated pretty regularly... I hope!!!! We have our first 2 nights booked in Amsterdam (we still need a 3rd night somewhere) and 4 nights in Versaille.

ok... signing off now... stay in touch now ya hear?????

The Countdown

It's hard to believe, but our plane will be taking off for Frankfurt exactly two weeks from today. I think I'm asked "So, are you getting excited?" at least five times a day, whether it be from co-workers, friends, acquaintances or random people I don't even know. (I don't mind, by the way. And yes, I am excited!) Yesterday, I called to make a doctor appointment and encountered a surprisingly chatty receptionist who kept asking me questions about the trip. Somewhere in the conversation I mentioned that we were renting a car, which resulted in quite a bit of geographical confusion on her part:

"Wait. So you're driving to Europe?"

Now that would be an exciting trip.
