Hey all, Jet lag has me up at 4:30am... I thought that you would like to hear about my trip, but I only have random thoughts to jot down in no clear order. Trip Stats: 7 days (147hrs) 6 Airports (22.5hrs on a plane / 7.5hrs in airports) 8 trains (7hrs)

Day 6 Today we head back home. The flight is leaving at 8:30am which sounded OK when we booked it. So, we need to be up early. We are a little behind to start with, but we grabbed the breakfast sandwich to go, and we are back on track. We arrive at the

DAY 5 Day 5 is planned to be a catch-all day. We picked a bunch of stuff from the internet that looked like cool old stuff for Nina's photography. Eva woke up around 7:00am again, which is good again, because the nap at the hotel worked so well yesterday,

DAY 4 So day four starts off like the earlier ones, although today we decide to just chill at the hotel room until after EG's morning nap. Eva wakes up at 7:00am which is closer to normal, but not quite there yet. It works out well for us though, since

DAY 3 Eva woke up around 6:00am this morning, so we are closer to CA time. We had decided to go to Sea World today. We again got the great breakfast at the Hotel, and took a banana for the road, which always comes in handy when you eat at amusement parks

Since Google started offering the map service with the satellite images, I have used that to get my directions. In San Diego I looked up the Hodad's restaurant using the satellite image to get an idea of the location we were looking for. Apparently, since

I just posted some of the pictures from the San Diego trip, and am completely convinced you all want to see them :) !!! They are here if you want to see them.

DAY 2 Eva forgot that the time was three hours behind, so we were all up at 5:00am. Since Disney World is an hour away, I thought it was wise to head there today, and get there right at opening. We got the free breakfast that the hotel provided, and it

These posts will journal the vacation we took a couple weeks ago, but will be written as though it is the same day... DAY 1: Friday April 21 We are flying out of GRR through MSP to SAN. This is Eva's first ride on a plane, and we can't afford to buy her

So we had delayed our planned vacation this month since we couldn't decide on a destination... Sunday, we made the decision to head to San Diego. We hope to spend 4 days there, and hit everything we can. It will be the first big trip with Eva, so we'll

Day 5 Time to head home! Flight leaves at 10:55 local back to Amsterdam. Nothing to note on this flight... A little layover in Amsterdam allowed me to get the Pig-in-the-blanket that I had eyed on the way out. I did some calculation to determine that

Day 4 More business this day... After business we drove back to Vienna, and checked back into the Le Meridien for the last night. We headed back downtown to do some shopping (had to bring Nina & Eva something from Austria), and some supper. I decided

Arrival in Amsterdam was kinda rough, as it appeared as though the pilot had expected the ground to lower a couple feet before we landed (it didn't). A short layover here in Amsterdam. The flight to Vienna left at 02:00. I felt somewhat at home (you must

Last week I had an opportunity to visit Austria & Slovakia on business. Of course business trips are always quite brief, and by definition about business. Although I had little chance to see any of the sights, I came away with a desire to return someday

I have a free domestic flight coming to me with my FF miles. The problem is, we can't decide where to go. There are lots of great places to go, but I just can't pick one. I am opening up this survey to see what you all think. Post a comment to let me
