Europe, Here We Come!

I've already said it half a million times....and will probably continue to say it....but, I am SO EXCITED FOR THIS TRIP! For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to visit Europe. I always thought I'd venture into the U.K. first, exploring the castles I love, and places that are featured prominently in my favorite books....but, a Mediterranean cruise? I'll take it!

Three months from today will find us winging our way east, en route to Barcelona. Sadly, in spite of nearly six years of study, I do not feel my Spanish is going to find favor with the locals. I've put Senor What's-his-name to shame.

I think that preparing for the trip is nearly as much fun as actually being there. There are so many things to see and try to experience in just one short week. I don't to miss anything (and I don't want us to wear ourselves out after a couple of days). Even the formal dinners on the cruise will be an adventure. This year really has been all about fun trips to various parts of the U.S., and now the world. It's exciting!
