"Time after Time" is such an underated song...

So here I am, blogging... I'm headed to Europe in about eight days, and figured that I could:
a) Write emails and letters to about 10 or 12 people every day
b) Pay like a dollar a minute and call everyone while I'm in Europe
c) Blog and send everyone the link, saving time over there...

I chose option C. I'm really all about saving time, especially when I don't get to go over to Europe very often (or ever again!) I'm really stoked to go, and figure I'll post one or two times before I leave. That way, if anyone has advice for stuff I should/shouldn't bring, or other pointers, then they could just post a comment. Makes sense?

So here's quick pre-trip and trip itinerary...
May 1st- SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER
May 4th- Andy graduates from UD, our little boy is all grown up now...
May 5th- My last YL club in Oakwood before I leave. I'm giving the talk (resurrection.. eesh pressure).
May 6th- 10:00 am, Katie and I leave Dayton airport for chicago
5:00 pm, leave Chicago for London (Heathrow)
May 7th- 6:00 am, land in London, drop our bags off at hostel, start adopting the local accent
May 10th- leave London, fly to Paris
May 13th- leave Paris, fly to Rome
May 18th- tell Katie goodbye for FIVE WEEKS, start my studies
May 23-26th- Weekend Trip to Sorrento
June 19th- fly back to the U, S, and A
June 20th- head to YL camp in Virginia

So that's the quick sneak-peak. Hopefully, I'll be able to use this blog to post a ton of pictures. I love taking pictures, and Katie loves them even more. So this will be a photo hub with a quick explanation of what's going on. I hate that I have to leave Oakwood for the month before camp, but I had to seize the opportunity.

If anyone has thoughts on what we should see, what we should skip, what we should eat, what we should stay away from at all costs, I'm all ears!
