Welcome! We created this site for friends and family who wish to follow our travels to Europe this Summer 2008. As you likely know, Cindy and I depart from New York on June 25th and arrive in Frankfurt via a brief layover in Amsterdam, where we begin our vacation through Germany, Italy and France. We'll first make our way to Heidelberg, where our parents live with their two dogs Oscar and Doogie. After several days touring Heidelberg and the surrounding area, we board an overnight train to Venice. This will be Cindy's first visit to Venice and Jamie's second (she was there for Carnivale in 1993). After four days in Venice, we head back to Germany for a few days before heading south to Les Contamines-Mont Jois, France. We'll spend several days exploring Lyon, Annecy, Luberon ... read more

but that's mostly because of how busy we are. We've had The Newlywayne Game, VISITING DAY (goodness that was a long day), Sounds of Wayne, Halloween Party (I was a button) and tomorrow is my second to last day off. I think we're just gonna chill and not worry about anything because on our last day off we went to Ithaca and driving anywhere more than an hour away is stressful for many people involved. I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 on staff movie night and it was...disappointing. Not gonna lie. But I had fun anyway. Square dance is Thursday night and I am psyched. Huzzah. Weather here is hot and then tomorrow it's supposed to be 40% chance of T-storms. Mother Nature seriously has something in for the Tuesday Crew. Miss and love you ... read more

We experienced a few beautiful days at camp, but then this morning (of course my day off AND 4th of July) it started raining again. Oh, sole mio! (sp?) Anyway, we're going outlet shopping...must check my bank account...miss you all. ... read more

Orientation started today and it was mostly meetings but some of it was really good. We went over why everyone was there, and I cried because some people have really meaningful reasons as to why they're here. Then we met with our groups and now some of us are going to watch Wet Hot American Summer to get into camp mode. We met the boys' side counselors and they are just like everyone said--mostly good looking but quite rude. That's about it, the movie's starting. Happy Father's Day!... read more

I think it's our fifth day of work or something...Anyway, last night there was a mad game of Bippity Bippity Bop which Heidi and I taught everyone, followed by some Egyptian Ratscrew and the like. Today for work I weeded the backstop of the softball field and a few of us scraped paint and primed the wooden fence by the parking lot. Good times. I also managed to get primer all over myself...Tomorrow is the last day of work and then our day off and then orientation starts! I'm getting nervous about the girls coming, but I think it's going to be fun. That's basically all. Oh, yesterday evening a few of the counselors were walking on campus and there was a black bear on the dining room porch and it ran away. So, Dad, you ... read more
