Another cool trip for Ken and I, with a little Paige (Ken's daughter) time thrown in. This trip is one we have been planning for a long time, and is hard to believe it is finally beginning. We first go to Interlaken Switzerland, where we will meet up with Paige and two of her college friends. On Saturday, Paige will head to Barcelona for school, while we go to Florence Italy for our 6 day bike trip through Tuscany.Well, the day started early as I woke up a...

Ok, we are not quite escaping reality just yet. Both Ken and I have had some crazy work requirements over the past week, which makes it very difficult to relax and get in the vacation spirit.

We are in despera...

But, once we dumped the car...and got in the terminal, there were no signs of AC because they were located in Terminal 2a, which required a train ride. Then, I tried to beat the buzzer getting ...

Jenine's Notes: Well, the adventure has begun! Of course no trip would be without a bit of airport drama. This time it wasn't my supposedly oversized carry-on bag, but Ken's name. While we know him as Ken, shockingly his real name is Kenneth. I stupidly booked the flight under Ken, which of course doesn't match his passport name of Kenneth and that enabled us to experience United's excellent customer service. Um, ok...we got the ag...
