We're off to see the Queen!


We're leaving this Friday for a 2 week trip to London, Paris and Amsterdam. VISA is sending a team of 11 people from the US office to VISA Europe located in Basingstoke, England for a week. Our original departure date was July 8th, one day after the bombings in London. So VISA rescheduled the trip for 2 weeks later. I have to admit I'm a little nervous about traveling to the site of the bombings so soon after the incident. Especially since John will be working for the whole week and I'll be sightseeing by myself. Uhh.... can you say, "TAXI!" ?

After London, we're taking the Eurostar across the Chunnel for a few nights in Paris. I'm so excited to tour Versailles and see how the other half lives! I read that Louis the XIV had a whole river redirected for his gardens.

After Paris, we're off to the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam. And if I can fit it in, you know we'll take a detour on the way and stop in Brussels for some waffles and handmade chocolates. Rachel Ray can do it on $40 a day. Ummm....No guarantees here....
