1 Overview of EuroTrip 2016

The several forthcoming posts are transcriptions of my sloppily-penned journal and accompanying photo depictions of our trip to Budapest, Hungary--via Reykjavik and Munich--to visit dear friends Dave and Sheila and family. Descriptions and impressions of each day were written late that night or the next morning, to be followed by general thoughts, comparisons, contrasts, and conclusions.

for travel safeties.

Today our trip to Budapest via Reykjavik and Munich begins! All my work work is delegated to capable hands, but I am feeling overwhelmed with my present task, as though I reeeeeeally don't want to go; so I am not doing what I should be, namely PACKING! But it will all happen, I know...praying for a safe and pleasant time--24 hours from now we will be soaking in THE BLUE LAGOON!!!




Well, it did happen; all those "one more thing"s have been addressed, well, that could be. Everything got packed and weighed and we are set to go! I don't even think we forgot anything--famous last words...


Steph is bringing us to the airport, which is greatly appreciated; it's nice to not have to worry about parking or transportation issues. And she is picking us up when we return--so nice! Bigger than that, though, is all the help with the phone usage overseas and what to use and not use; she set up my world clock and helped me pick out a cool lens to have some picture taking variety. Thank you, Chickie!
