Launch Day – Day 0
We are taking Off
We, my wife and daughter who is 17 and on verge of her senior year of high school are ready to explore Europe by train. This is a departure from our past vacations abroad and the plan really only came together a few weeks ago. So we have a beginning and an end, train tickets to destination in between and the rest we hope to figure out on the road. Luck happens to those who are prepared and I think we are prepared for a little luck. If we keep our expectations low, then we usually are pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Attitude is everything, right? After all, we will be together, traveling as a family and not to get to reflected yet but we don’t how many more trips like this we will get. But for now, I will be in my happy place, with the girls, taking in life as it should be, together.
We are a little nervous and a lot excited. The house is still quiet sitting here sipping coffee. Clothes are scattered across the floor trying to figure out what stays and what goes. Is it going to be hot or cold? Will it rain, or will the weather be perfect. One more check at the forecast. One more check for the passports. Grab the chargers and an extra pair of socks. We are off to Europe in a few short hours. Tons planned, with space between to figure things out.
