Ready, Set, Go?

All packed and (almost) ready to go. (Not pictured, a couple pairs of shoes, my suit, and some electronics I still have to put away) Not quite sure how I'm gonna fit it all. Uh oh.

The hills are alive... ok so I'm not going to Salzburg... just yet anyway.

I've never done this before (blogged) but I figure, I might as well try. At least it'll be some place where I can put any pictures I take?

My flight is scheduled for today, Sept 22 at 7:25pm (EST), leaving from JFK. I'll arrive in London on Monday Sept 23 at 7:40am (GMT), departing Heathrow at 9:55am and arriving in Vienna at 1:10pm (GMT +1).

The last time I went to Europe, there was a HUGE thunderstorm in NY, and my flight got delayed by 3-4 hours. Of course, I missed my connection in Madrid, and got to Paris several hours later than anticipated. But on the plus side, I got to fly into Paris during sunset which was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen (yes, cliché, I know and, yes Esther, ONE of the most beautiful).

Feeling excited about what the future holds and definitely thrilled to be going back to Europe! 

Thank you all for the many well wishes, gifts and prayers. Hopefully this will help us to keep in touch while I am away. Looking forward to hearing from many of you, and if you send me your address, perhaps I will send you a postcard!

Forgot to add a picture of the red hat... It is coming with me, of course
