Amsterdam
Last night I saw a special rate for the Amsterdam ferry. Then I saw that the Amsterdam restaurant festival was running the same week as the ferry special. Seemed like fate. Like most of my dreams of cheap travel, this has already cost more than I expected, but we have a ferry, a hotel, and a restaurant booked for March 5 and 6. This is the beauty of our location - we're basically taking a weekend trip to Amsterdam. The ferry leaves at 9 PM, we have dinner on board and sleep in bunk beds - I'll get the top bunk since Rick will still have a shoulder sling. The next morning, we arrive in Amsterdam, find the hotel to drop off our bags, go to lunch at the restaurant and then explore the city. I'd like to take a canal cruise, but we'll see how we're doing money-wise. The next morning it's breakfast at the hotel and more exploring. Then back to the ferry. Oh, and Julie can go with us because no plane is involved.

It is just inspiring to think about all the places you are seeing - I'm betting they rarely appreciate it right now (or at least they certainly wouldn't express it!), but what awesome things Julie and Joe are going to have to look back on. I recently went on a long weekend retreat, and my greatest fear was getting a top bunk. Naturally, top bunk it was - it was fine - but I wasn't in a moving vehicle at the same time... heehee
