We awoke after a decent night's sleep, got our continental breakfast. We were NOT taking a taxi!! So we walked 100 meters to the bus stop! When we went to check in, we learned that there is a new 20 Euro ($40) tax for people leaving the country!! So we dropped a quick $80, and boarded our plane.
After a 9 hour flight to Chicago, it was good to stretch our legs a bit! We needed one more flight to get to Madison, and we knew it could be a while because there was a blizzard in Chicago. Looking at the board, over 90% of the flights were either delayed or canceled! We finally got to board, then we sat while the plane was getting de-iced. When we arrived in Madison, Jen's mom and stepdad were there to meet us, and they took us to Rocky Rococo's for dinner (Jen's fav Pizza). We were exhausted, so we went straight to bed and slept great!
We were sure to look over our journal in the few days after our return. We made lists of what we need to see again, and what we can pass on next time. We made notes about packing...what we were glad we had, what we wished we had brought, and what we can leave home next time. If you are planning on taking a trip to any of the places we visited, feel free to ask us our opinions. Anyone who knows us, knows we are not shy to share our thoughts!!! Thanks for reading about our travels, and now we can blog about current life! Here we go!
Wow guys! I'm proud to say that I've kept up on reading about all of your travels and have enjoyed the stories and photos. I'm a little jealous of all you got to do and see, but I would not have made it as long as you did! Can't wait to hear more about how you guys are doing these days!! Gearing up for another marathon, I hear!
ReplyDeletemmm... rocky roccoco's! haven't thought about that in years... but ate that regularly as a high school student. the chicago marathon sounded a little crazy... did you each run it alone? so glad you're done with your trip to europe!! :) I'm ready for the current updates! But what a fabulous trip...
