I was 33 I think the first time I ever went to Europe. That was just a few years ago! Now I've been a few times, all for work, and while they're great opportunities, I have gotten to the point where it starts to feel lonely and isolating going by myself.
This time I get to take Paul and Anna with me :) Thank you frequent flyer miles! Paul and I are each going to give presentations to students at Mission Discovery camps in London, England, and Paisley, Scotland this week and next. We leave tomorrow and return next week. It will be so great having them with me, and we will get to squeeze in some local day trips to Loch Ness, Stonehenge, Bath, and Windsor Castle. The schedule will be fast-paced and likely exhausting, especially given the time change but we will power through!
I'll have to remind my co-travelers my two rules tomorrow:
1) keep up
2) no complaining
This time last year we were preparing for our Hawaii trip (vacation, no work!). I'd have never thought that a year later we would be headed to Europe. Too much, especially since this was boy something I'd have done at her age!!!
We are fortunate for these opportunities, and know they may not always last. So we take advantage of it all now!
Flight leaves tomorrow. Giddey-up!
