Leaving on a jet plane......

It's time to use all of my frequent flyer miles and hotel points!!

Sara and I are leaving for Europe tomorrow! First I fly to Detroit and I am going to have lunch with my family and then our flight leaves for AMS (Amsterdam) at 830EST. We arrive in AMS around 11AM Saturday morning. We will spend time in AMS (staying at the Flying Pig hostel) until Tuesday and then we will be flying to London. On Tuesday night we will be using my hard earned Marriott points and will get a nice shower in a nice hotel! We will be staying with Sara's cousin in London until Saturday. On Saturday we will be going to the burbs of London to meet her family. On Sunday we will be coming back to London (using hard earned Marriott points again) and on Monday morning we will be flying back to the "dirty D".

So we decided to go the back pack route (easy to travel with but a little awkward). I amazed myself b/c I have packed for 10 days and manged to have some room for souvenirs.

Its been so busy this week with catching up for work and getting ready to go, but I am not realizing its finally here!

I will also not have a phone for 10 days so I am definitely going to have a little separation anxiety and my lap top.

It was a great week at home (as always). Robyn, Jacquelyn, and I went to dinner last night and Sara and I went to dinner tonight. Its always good to see the girls!

I realized that the Detroit Lions play the Atlanta Falcons on 9/7 - I am so bummed b/c I wanted to watch the game with Garry so I could see his face when the Lions have their first game of the season victory win and I can collect on my bet. I guess I will just have to collect when I see him when I get back (which seems like forever) I am really going to miss him, 3 weeks is a long time! Go Lions!!
Well I am off to get some more work done and and finishing up last minute packing!

Hopefully I get to blog a little when I am over there but I took a journal with me just in case....
And thanks to my family who are praying for my safe travels.
