Wow, this trip is going to be amazing! I really enjoyed reading about your family history.
And just from that ONE picture you posted, I already LOVE your dad!!
Joining in!
Wow, that's some family history you've got right there. And that's so sad about your mother being teased in school for not knowing a language (stupid swede? Really?), it's nervewracking enough being around such a foreign language. I was absolutely terrified when I went to Quebec this past March and that was just for 4 days. But it's good to hear she got through it all right, even though her accent is gone
Anyways... it's so cool that you are getting the chance to really tour Europe from Belgium! I've heard many good things from my dad and he's been to many countries in Europe. My family is also friends with some great people who live there. But most importantly, the food looks delicious! I actually want to lick the screen right now, no joke (Belgian Waffle <3) Though I'm not of course... or am I hmmmm...
Anyways, can't wait to read more about your plans!
Here! Your trip sounds like it will be incredible!
Wow, your family history is seriously fascinating. I'll never understand why kids can be so MEAN. I bet they were jealous of her accent. Dumb kids.
I don't like syrup on my waffles either! Not a big syrup fan really haha. All those food pictures are just wow... yum... I'm hungry.
Can't wait to read more! This is honestly fascinating to me.
I had an international connecting flight nightmare as well. When I went to Italy many many years ago we flew from Rome to Newark and then had a connecting flight down to Norfolk. Well, our flight arrived in Newark on time but we were held on the plane because there was a problem with the wheel. We were stuck on the plane for an hour. Then we had to go through the whole immigration/passport/luggage drama. By the time we got through all that we only had 15 minutes to get to our connecting flight. We were running through the airport like the family in Home Alone. Luckily, we just barely made the flight, they actually held it for us (the fastest person in the group ran ahead to the gate). Of course, this was all pre-9/11. They would never allow us to run like maniacs in an airport nowadays.
Wow, that's quite a long travel day indeed! I love flying direct to Europe, so much easier!
Hope your dad gets a considerate travel partner!
It is a long travel day but it's going to be so worth it.
Great job at crunching those numbers. It's so satisfying to be able to get a better deal by doing a little research. You get the prize for that one.
Flights have bee crazy!! I've been looking for the summer and they are nuts! At one point Delta was giving me like $500+ round trip...CRAZY!!! I'm stalking Southwest like you wouldn't believe!! Sounds like you have great plans and my father would praise you for your number crunching!
I need a nap after reading that! That's a long travel day but I always find that adrenalin helps alot Direct flights are a must aren't they? The last time we went to Europe we had a stopover in Toronto there and back....never gotten a direct flight out of here
I am in.
Ik ben benieuwd om je reisverhaal te lezen.
As I live in the Netherlands and my mom is from Belgium and my father is from Germany i love to read al about your trip.
Your family history was fascinating to read about, it was seriously like a WWII novel or something! (Sorry, I'm a dork, I love history!) Your poor mom, getting teased for knowing 3 languages and having an accent! I'm never going to understand kids, they're so vicious sometimes. My DH grew up in Boston and moved to CT when he was 11, so he had a thick Boston accent when he came here, and he said he was teased horribly so he had to learn how to speak without it, and now you would never know he had an accent at all. Lame.
Your travel day sounds long, but exciting! Again, me being a dork, I love airports and train stations, and going to new places so even though it sounds like it's going to be exhausting, it will be so much fun!
It's only a 2 hour train ride from England to Brussels? Wow that's crazy! The only European country I have ever been to was England (I loved it, and I LOVED Heathrow Airport!) but I wish we took the train over to France for the day or something...who knows when I'll get back to Europe?
Can't wait to hear your DLRP plans!
I'm so in for this!!!
That is incredible of your family's history! I'm so sorry that your mom was teased.
Good job on the numbers crunching!! But yeah, that first day sounds like a doozie! Hopefully everyone will get some decent naps in!
Can't wait to read more!!
My oldest DD loves mayonnaise on her chips too.
That is one very long day of travel, I think I would need to sleep for a whole day to get over it. Looking forward to hearing more of your plans.
Oh dear God, that just sounds like the longest trip of life, ever. And I'm used to long trips... I went to a college eight hours from my house hahah. But I mean, it's a necessary evil when you're going on such an awesome trip! Darn these long distances hahah.
