Europe Trip 2012: Day 3 (June 24, 2012): Heaven on Earth

The day started with Jenn and I taking a nine hour journey from Atlanta, Georgia to Zurich, Switzerland. It was the first international flight either of us has taken that we didn't have an individual screen in the seat in front of us. Luckily I had loaded plenty to keep me busy with on my iPad and Jenn was busy planning out the next twenty days of vacation. The flight was pretty non-eventful and got is in right around 8AM Switzerland time.

Europe Trip 2012 Day 2 (June 23, 2012): A New Day

When we left you yesterday the trip seemed to be off to as rocky of a  start as we could have imagined. There were points during the day that  getting on a plane going anywhere didn't seem like a possibility.

During our flight into Atlanta we had a free 15 minutes of Wi-Fi which I  used to book us a night at the Atlanta Gateway Marriott. We ended up  arriving into Atlanta on-time but to no surprise to either Jenn or I our  bags weren't there. I was shocked but Jenn really handled that like a  champ. We went to the luggage desk and had an extremely nice lady who  spent a good half hour trying to get someone in LAX to rush our bags in  time to make our 4:45PM flight to Zurich. We left there at around 1AM  feeling somewhat confident that our luggage would be there when we got  back later in the day.

Europe Trip 2012 Day 1 (June 22, 2012): We Can't Help You With That

What a day. As I write today's entry I am sitting on a flight headed to Atlanta. Why Atlanta you may be wondering? Well let's start at the beginning.

The lead up to this trip has been intense. This past weekend Jenn hit her toe into the couch and found out on Monday that it was broken. Two days ago Jenn and I realized we had more stuff to bring to Europe then would be physically possible to bring in our suitcases. And today has been the nightmare travel experience that people always tell stories of but we have never had to experience ourselves.

New York Trip Day 1 (July 29th, 2011): The Battle of the Red Eye

 Lets face it life goes by far to quick. Days, weeks, months, and even years go by and we can sit here wondering what happened to them all. Jenn and I on the other hand are doing everything we can to live in the moment. Enjoy the many blessings that God has provided for us and enjoy the wonderful world He has created. So only months after our recent trip to London Jenn and I are back on the road for our first ever trip to the Big Apple.
