5 days to go...

The count down has begun... Our flight leaves around 11:30 am from Seatac to Amsterdam then on to Brussels this Tuesday (10/12/10).  Our furniture arrived last week and is mostly set up so we will have our own beds to sleep in when we arrive.  We ran into a couple of bumps in the road with our VISAs and the refinance for our condo but all has been sorted out (enough anyways).  We are enjoying our stay in Anacortes and are sad to be saying goodbye to family and friends but we'll be in contact...we love skype!  This is such an awesome adventure and I am soooo grateful to have this opportunity-THANK YOU, Steve!

I have added a link to "google maps" with a satellite image of Ghent and our apartment is marked. Follow the canal to the right and it will lead you to the City Center (15 min walk from our house).  Be sure to stop at Patrick Foley's Irish Pub along the way, Steve says it's great:)

Well,  hope to be writing about something awesome in Belgium soon...

  1. Will you be able to get on skype with us maybe this Sunday night. You pick time or maybe even the day. Will you be able to do skype when you get to Ghent? We already miss you and you still in the USA. We love you guys, all four of you.
