Today was a wonderful day in Vilnius, Lithuania! It is just after 9pm and we have returned to our room after a beautiful leisurely walk on the pedestrian street here outside of our hotel. It is cool and the leaves are turning colors and it is like a painting outside. To back up… we had a full city tour this morning for around 3.5 hours. We toured a Roman Catholic Orthodox Church from the 1600s. ... Read Full Entry

Wondering about our names? These are our travel names - because everyone calls us by our first names on flights, tours, etc... and they pronounce our names "Eee-duh" and "Jaw-un" ...Every. Single. Time. :) ... full info

Snow?
YES! It snows A LOT here and FREEZES A LOT here! This trip is only available through October because the weather is so bad after this month. Sometimes, they get snow before October ends. There are soooooo many people on this trip that are "Century Club Members" - meaning they've all traveled to over 100 countries. There is a guy couple that has been on vacation since Sept 5th. The people on this trip seem to be the type that travel every other month - at least most of them.

That hot chocolate sounds AMAZING!!! Have you all not sampled any local liquors? Or do they have any??? And then you posted about alcohol at KFC and that sounds AWESOME!!! Your trip is half over and I am just now getting to catch up on your blogs. I hate that I didn't get to tell Kamie "bye" and wish him safe travels. He was gone before I realized it!
