Happy New Year's Eve!

Last year we had the ultimate NYE in Vienna - a huge Cinderella Ball, black ties and ball gowns - that's really hard to compete with. 


This year we're much more subdued.  First of all, we had no plans - we're totally winging it!  Second, we knew we were never gonna make it until midnight...we've been drinking way to much and sleeping way too little on this trip.  Our only plan was to get some Belgium chocolate and a good Belgium beer - Check!  We headed to the BrewDogs bar and had a lovely line up of beers and some good eats.


We had a good year! 

We loved the ball in Vienna and toasted our friends from all over the world.  We took a day trip to Salzburg and met new friends from Melbourne - always a possibility when you're drinking beer.

We finished the renovations on our house. 

We went to Kauai and saw the Jurassic Park waterfall and sooo many rainbows. 

We took a river cruise from Budapest to Bucharest - saw amazing artwork and architecture and took in so much history. 

We spent time with family and friends. 

I made delicious food, and we tried delicious beers. 

We went to Dallas, DC, Glenwood Springs, Santa Fe, Grand Junction, Durango, Phoenix, Moab, Las Vegas, California, Breckenridge, and Mesa Verde.

I turned 60 and spent that milestone with some of my favorite people on earth. 

And then I lost two of my favorite people - my friend, Debbie Roo, and my mother. 

We had friends over for dinner and in-laws for thanksgiving. 

We drank and ate our way through the year with good friends, new friends, and family.  Here's hoping we do even greater things in 2019!

Happy New Year, y'all!

A Little Bit of Home in a Back Alley Bar

You can't swing a dead cat here without hitting a chocolate shop, a waffle stand, a beer bar, or an after Christmas sale.  Brugge seemed to come alive this afternoon - scores of people fresh off of a package unwrapping frenzy, ready to get outdoors and spend some Christmas cash.  It seemed the crowds were denser, more kid-populated, and more rude.  (Ya gotta love the Europeans - they're used to crowds and how to maneuver through them without a second thought of those around them.  It's not that they're rude, really, they're just on a mission and all those stupid tourists are in their way.  I really do totally get it...they're in my way, too!) Anyway, today was mostly about recovery from yesterday's beer binge.  We got a bit of a late start and went out of our way to get away from the tourist spots.  We managed quite well.  And, by the way, the back streets in the city are just as lovely as the bustling squares. After a delicio...

Well, THAT Sorta Sucks

After a pretty good rest on our overnight flight, we arrived in Munich.  Our connection to Brussels was tight, but all the internet forums crowed about how streamlined and easy Munich airport is.  And it is!  SOOOOOOO easy.  Our connection gate was a quick walk away - no one was in line at passport control, and our gate was one floor down...as long as you weren't distracted by the duty free siren song  - this was a cinch.  Then the wheels came off. Our connecting flight was on a commuter airplane that was parked out in the pasture.  We had to take a shuttle, walk up the kind of stairs that are connected to the plane (not a jet way or Home Depot ladder-type of affair), and then duck to walk down the aisle to our seats.  A Barbie and Ken plane.  Still not terrible, but Barbie and Ken didn't manage to get our bags out to the pasture and in the hold.  Heavy sigh.  We talked to the baggage service people who were very apologetic....
