Europe » Belgium June 3rd 2015

We slept in this morning after some long days of traveling and somewhere along the way, I think we lost a day. We spent the day in Bruges and I love it. We ran into my Aunt Mary and Cousin Chandler after we finished getting ready…about 12:30pm, then went on a local walking tour of the market and some side roads for shopping. Since Mary and Chandler had just gotten in, they were pretty hungry and tired. First actual stop of the day was at a Belgium bar called Bierbrasserie Cambrinus where we just HAD TO have Belgium beer (yum yum)(over 400 to choose from) and some local cuisine.

So it's time to get ready for my "Trip of a Lifetime"! Clothes are laid out, and there are WAY too many! My travel perks were rescinded when work slowed down, so now I'm going to have to downscale from 3-70lb bags to 1-50lb bag! I'm going to be gone for just over 3 weeks, so am trying to figure out how many times I can turn my clothes (underwear included) inside out and use them again! :) Trying to figure out adapters and converters, it's all very exciting. Should I bring a hidden money belt? Do I really have to bring sensible, ugly shoes? Am I really going to need a flat iron to straighten my hair or will I really even care!? I'm traveling with my beautiful mother, aunt, and cousin! My aunt and ... read more
