So far today...which I suppose includes yesterday, but doesn't seem like it when you have not slept yet, we woke up in Canada, stripped beds and washed sheets, did last minute house cleaning, did super last minute changes to packing, and shuffled weight around to get all bags weighing in at 49 pounds, said last minute goodbyes to friends and family, lunch at airport, 9 hour flight to Amsterdam, took the train to city center, walked the streets, took the ferry, explored the canals and stopped for a beer, then took the train back to the airport where the kids have finally crashed after being awake for over 24 hours. Now we wait for a 4 hour flight to Malaga, where I will be so grateful to check into a hotel and sleep. Tomorrow we will go find paradise and hopefully it will all be worth it. Kids are troopers (and Shane too)! Let the adventures begin!
