We're really going!!!!

So after years of talking about it, Wes and I are finally going to see Europe together!

Our plan was to go in September to avoid the crowds and the hot weather. I had our basic itinerary planned a while ago, but kept procastinating on actually booking the airline tickets with our airmiles. When I finally called them yesterday, I was told there were no seats left at all! I asked her to look at any date cause I got desperate, and she said the only seats available were for mid October - which would have been too cold!!! There was absolutely nothing left, not in coach, or business class or anything! Then she proceeded to tell me that I should have called to book them a year in advance if I want to use points. I'm thinking..a year?? Who plans their vacation a year in advance! Needless to say I was peeved, mostly at myself for waiting so long to book.

Anyway, so I hung up the phone and I thought, hmm, I'll apply 'the secret' (don't laugh I know you're laughing). So I imagined that Wes and I were sitting comfortably in the plane on our way to London. And an hour after my first attempt, I decided to call them again to see if I could get seats. And voila!! I got seats!! (see Wes, 'the secret' does work! you should watch it with me) happy happy happy!

So, here is our tentative itinerary. I'm still trying to decide how long we should stay at each place, and whether or not we should squeeze in another city. Hopefully some of you will be able to come and spend a day or two with us sometime in between our trip! Amsterdam anyone??
