Well, I think I have something interesting to write about again…we’re going on vacation for the next two weeks; it’ll be our first vacation to Europe.  Lydia went to Switzerland and Rome for about a month right after she graduated from college, but I haven’t ever been off of the continent.

We’ve been planning this vacation for a few months now and its hard to believe that the time is almost here.  We’ll leave tonight for Kent, and then fly out early tomorrow morning.  While we’re gone we’ll see Paris, Athens, and the Greek island of Crete. We’ll be in Crete for the longest by far, staying there for 7 days.  I was up until the wee hours of the morning last night making sure that I was all packed and ready to go.  This morning has been pretty rough, with my last day of work only operating on a few hours of sleep.

So, I found out this morning that its been raining pretty heavy on Crete for the last few days, leading up to some flooding that was featured on the news here in the Pac NW.  A friend told me that this morning when I got into work, and I had a little mini freak-out.  But after doing some research online and finally finding someone with a Grecian weather forecast it looks like a good majority of our trip will be sunny and warm, but the first day or so might be a bit soggy.

So, we’re pretty excited for our newest adventure.  I’ll try and journal online a few times while were gone, much like our experience in Alaska, the blog might be more for myself than it is others€¦.but people used to find that interesting.
