I'm feeling good about my husband's and my progress for our trip preparations. I typed up a detailed itinerary that is mostly complete. We already bought a few tickets to events in the city and have other ideas for things we'll do (museums, etc). Boy, are we going to be forking out a lot of money! I'm going to try not to think about that too much. At this point, all I can now do is wait until closer to the date when I'll do a lot of laundry, packing, and last minute housework. I've even created my personal packing list. I'll let Hubby create his own -- though he just wings it.

When we first arrived in Europe, we bought a used Honda because our newer car was still being shipped. Since we received our car from the US, the Honda has just collected dust. We now plan to sell it. One car seems sufficient in our new life. Plus, there is convenient public bus transportation almost right in front of our house. Hubby is even thinking about getting an e-bike, which is the latest thing here. What we recoup from the Honda would pay towards our trips.
