Snapshot from Amsterdam |
I confess that because I screwed up it cost me $165 bucks in parking fees. The plan was to park at Mj's job for free and take a cab to the airport. Six weeks prior when Mj left he told me which one to bring but I forgot and it wasn't until the night before amidst all of my pre trip anxiety that I was texting him to try to remember which one to bring. I grabbed the wrong parking badge so I couldn't get in the gate and had to use airport parking. Now that was an expensive mistake I really didn't need right now. I suck.

I confess that of all of my hours of research and planning for the trip maybe about 60% was useful and helpful.
I confess that I am not one of those freaks of nature who manages to lose weight while on vacation. As expected I gained but I had so much fun doing it that I don't even care.
I confess that I didn't work out not once while I was gone. There was one day that I could've and Mj did but I was just too dang tired to bother. I did work out first thing this morning. Too little too late but better late then never right?
I confess that I spent a crap ton of money. It was really fun getting screwed over by the Euro to Dollar conversion that does not work in our favor. I pulled out 160 Euro's from the ATM and it showed up as $208 USD at my bank.
I confess that I have the most horrible sense of direction on the face of the planet. I already knew this but going to Europe truly magnified it times 10. Were it not for Mj I might still be wandering around Paris right now trying to figure out how to get back to our hotel.
I confess that I really didn't miss having my phone all that much. Okay maybe a little bit. Most of our hotels had free wi-fi so I did manage to catch up on blogs, post a few things on Facebook and delete some junk mail with my i phone. It was nice being free from the chains of technology.
I confess that I have a ton of shows to catch up on in my DVR which means many, many hours catching up on the couch. I have 10 episodes of House Hunters among many others. Hmm...maybe I really do watch way too much TV.
I confess that 10 cities in 15 days is exhausting!!! We were vagabonds; always on the move from ship to plane to countless train rides and 4 different hotels but it was so much fun.
I confess that I feel like I don't even know where to start in terms of recaps. It's kind of daunting just thinking of writing about 15 days of travel. I guess I'll just start at the beginning and once I get started everything else will follow.
I confess that I wrote this entire blog post standing up while still wearing my sweaty gym clothes and waiting for over 600 vacation photos to load. I didn't really plan on posting so soon but here it is. Guess I just can't stay away.
I confess that it's 7:30 pm in Europe right now and I kinda wish I was still there.
