Two years ago Spiral and I got a fantastic deal on round-trip tickets to Europe, and decided it could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so we jumped on them. Even though our finances were a bit tight, and even though I was pregnant with Little Man, we just couldn't pass it up.
I vowed to put together a journal of our trip, and while we were there I saved every last ticket stub and cafe napkin and brochure to go in it. Of course when we got home I had a 2nd birthday party to plan, a nursery to paint and decorate, and... Oh yeah, about 24 hours of labor followed by pushing a human out of my body. I got a little busy, and it never got done.
I am now trying to piece together this journal, because what else am I going to do with two dozen metro tickets, and because I don't know if I will ever get to go back there. It's going to be a bit more difficult seeing as two years have gone by, but I'm going to do my best. Be looking for Chapter One sometime in the near future.
I have decided to write it out here on my blog. It will come in several segments, and they won't appear in a row. I hope you enjoy reading them.
