Reese's first sentence in the morning...

Plane, attraction and train tickets! With the internet and GPS who needs to follow a tour! Free and easy is the way to go!

First thing in the morning Reese woke up with a sleepy face and suddenly became very alert and smiling from ear to ear...

Reese: ... It's 4 more days to the trip!!!!, tomorrow will be 3 more days!...... 2 more days.... the day after that is the day! I am so excited!!

He is truly very excited about the trip. Has been telling us that he can't wait to go! 

We are also very excited. Praying for good weather as you know it is very cold and snowing in parts of Paris and Rome... Keep us in your prayers yeah! 

We are sooooo ready to go....

Checked-in to all the airlines we are using (3 in all), printed our train tickets to Rome, printed all our attraction tickets, got all the online maps ready to be used with GPS, mapped out all the attraction and food places we are going to. Downloaded some new games and converted some movies for Reese's iPad. Managed to change our money to Euros at its lowest and lastly we have packed our bags. I have been packing and unpacking and still not satisfied! Trying to cramp 3 persons winter clothing, gadgets and Reese's art supplies into 2 cabin size luggage and 2 bag packs. Not easy. Last Sunday we even went to get ourselves lightweight down jackets/coats (our existing coats are very bulky and heavy) and these help to save some space in our luggage too! So we are all set. 

Waiting for THE day!! Come faster please....
