I have been waiting 30 years for this vacation, it is a dream come true. We (Preston, Garth and I) are going to Europe to see a friend of mine and her family and a few other sites. Preston and I leave July 1 and Garth will join us on July 18 for 12 days, but Preston and I won’t be back until Aug. 3. If you want to hear Garth’s sob story call, him in the first two weeks of July and you can hear him cry about how he has to work so his adorable wife and son can go to Europe.
30 years ago this summer I was lucky enough to go to Europe with People to People. We had three home stays while we were there and my first one was in the Netherlands in the town of Weert with Anita Creemers and her family. We developed a special, unique relationship in just a week that has lasted 30 years. She has been here to stay with us many times and even visited us while we were Japan. We can’t wait to see her and the sights in Europe. This picture was taken of us 30 years ago (as I’m sure you can tell) and I have to apologize to Anita because her eyes are closed but it is the only one I have. Hopefully, we will take another one this summer, we won’t look too much older and her eyes will be open!

I'm sure we don't look much older 30 years after this picture was taken ;)! But there will be so much more of us that wasn't present then! Think about our husbands, kids and a few pounds extra here and there in my case, but most of all knowledge that our friendship would become very special indeed and would last a least 30 years!
Looking foward to July 2nd in Brussels, Belgium.
Hey, way to go getting up a blog! If I can do it, anyone can! Your trip this sommer sounds wonderful--hope you have an exciting and safe trip. I'm sure Garth will enjoy himself alone taking care of work and chores at home (in the heat) while your galivanting around Europe.
Looks good Bonnie, we look forward to more posts, especially while you are all in Europe. Congrats on entering the blogosphere, just don't get sucked into Pioneer Woman and you'll be fine.
I didn't know you did People to People! I did People to People when I was 12 and loved it. Unfortunately, no home stay for me. Too young at the time, they didn't let you do it unless you were 14 and older. But I'm really jealous of your trip! Looks like you're having a blast so far!
