Finally the Day is Here

After months of planning, making lists and checking them twice, packing and re-packing the first day of our European adventure is here.

We have a neighbor boy to mow the lawn, if it ever needs it again. We still have not reached 90 this summer, but it has been very dry without any measurable rain for weeks. The pool is closed. The house is clean, somewhat. Itineraries given to relatives, wills made, medical directives completed, flights confirmed, everything ready, we hope.

Our flight leaves Grand Rapids, Michigan at 3:00pm to Detroit and then we connect to to London Heathrow where we will arrive around 7:00 am London time. Then we will be picked up and taken to our Hotel and the tour begins.

Since we will not be carrying a laptop with us, we will be dependant upon finding Internet cafes to update our blog and hopefully ad some pictures as we go.

As a side, it is also our 47th wedding anniversary today.

Until we can make contact next time.
