First real travel post!

I’m in Springfield though. Tomorrow I head out to St. Louis. I’m spending a night there so that I can catch my morning flight on April 1st. That Tuesday I make my first stop of the trip. Canada! Yep every good European trek needs a good ol’ fashioned Canadian kick off party. In fact this party is going to be 10 hours long! Air Canada decided to bump me to an earlier flight so I have a 10 hour lay over in the wonderful Toronto airport… Amy is going to show up at some point that evening(probably late!) and then we fly from Toronto to London. I should sleep on the plane but I really like watching those in-flight movies. It doesn’t even matter what they are showing; I’ll love it!

I’m a little nervous about the weather. St. Louis and NYC have thunderstorms predicted for Tuesday. Go away thunderclouds!

Hello all!
Amy and I are about to embark on a two month long european adventure. before we go though I’d like to post a few pictures (mainly to test this new gallery feature i’ve installed) We will try to keep this blog updated so that you can enjoy our travels along with us even if you are working or still slaving away at school. Hopefully it won’t be too updated though. If it is then that means we’re typing on a computer instead of exploring the world!
