Hey Everyone...
I am so bad. I haven't posted the Prague blog and I didn't even tell everyone that we were leaving again. We left on the 21st for 5 days in Germany and then flew to Croatia for the remaining 5 days of our vacation. I'm in an Internet cafe in Dubrovnik, Croatia right now and just wanted to give a small update...
I will work really hard to update everything this next week. The G20 Summit is happening in London this week, so I have a feeling I won't be going into the City...although I could probably get some very interesting photos and video!
Check back this week!
Trip reports, ramblings, photos and videos from our life in Europe. Please feel free to send comments and keep me updated with your emails!

2 Years and Counting...
Exactly 2 years ago today, Edgar and I landed at Gatwick airport to begin this crazy adventure. We had no idea what surprises awaited us when we received our first official entry stamp and became true expats. I dreamed many times of what it would be like to see more of the world and experience the many diverse cultures that make up our humanity. I spent countless hours daydreaming about the many significant, beautiful, and truly amazing things I would see. Our "must-see" list was and is far longer than any amount of time here would allow. While we've managed to check quite a few places off our list, I think that seeing one place automatically leads to wanting to see another place, and thus the list just keep getting longer. But I think it would be a sad day if you checked a tick mark and said, "There, I'm done." I think that curiosity should should reside in each of us. Whether it's curiosity about another place, time, people, or whatever, one should always seek to learn something new. I've found that travelling keeps my curiosity alive. When we return from a trip, it only makes me hungry to learn more about the place from which we've explored. I like this quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:

The Man Cold
Does it ever seem like a man cold is far worse than a woman cold?
A few translations:
999=911 emergency
Lemsip=one of our cold meds over here
CBB's=the BBC kids channel
