No, really, I am going to Europe. It is said in the Final Final list and there is no failing, right? Well, I can tell you that there is nothing quite like outward pressure to get you moving. I have been researching flights for over a month, knowing this was coming, knowing I would probably quit, give up, flake out on myself.  And I see Iceland Air as my best route.  I’m going to Europe.

 Now, will someone please tell me what’s next.  Seriously, I’m going to go put my head in a hole and you all go make my trip to Europe happen. I’ll blog about how awesome it all was, from the safety of my dark place – sound good?

 I don’t think we have the financial means to be doing this. For 14 years we haven’t had the financial means to do this, and yet we manage to buy bikes and buy organic milk and shop at Gap outlet sales.  We must have the means. We are going to Europe. This is my ostrich mantra. We have the means.

 Now, after the estimated $5,000 I will be spending for a family of four to travel at Christmas to Europe (did I mention we think we should go at Christmas?), what else must we pay for? There is a reason I’m scared out fo my wits and it’s called My Bank Account – that evil beast.

 Never-the less, I’m going. We’re going. It’s happening.

 Help.
