Leaving, on a jet plane.

Packing this morning - I always wait until the night before/morning of. So, here I am, getting ready to head out to Holland, where the temperature is in the 40s, and wet. "Real Feel - 30s".

I'm definitely excited, and I'm willing to be chilly and wet to hang out in my favorite city. I've been enough times now to know what to do, where to go and the shortcuts to get there, fun things to do that never get old, and with the work that has been going on at both the Rijks and the Stedelijk, there is always something new to see.

So, check back here - I'll be posting upon occasion, and I'll share this link here to my 'other blog' where my wife and co-conspirator and I have travelogued some of of prior fun trips. Our tradition in Amsterdam is to take a photo every 2000 steps. No matter where or when, we just find a what and take a photo. It makes for a great diversion and friends always want to see photos, so it satisfies that without putting pressure on us to have to capture 'meaningful things'.

Feeling really blessed to be taking such a nice vacation in a place I love with my friend that I love - timing couldn't be any better! Soive thanks and praise, and enjoy what lies ahead of you!
