Many changes

What a change a week can make! Last week at this time, it was my birthday and graduation day and I was hosting a party cinco de mayo style. Now I have a flexible schedule with no school and no work. One more week to go before the packers come and move our stuff. Seattle, here I come!! In the meantime, there's quite a lot of traveling to be had. It begins with a week in San Antonio for my brother-in-law's graduation then we're off on a whirlwind tour of Europe! Our itinerary goes like this:

Paris
Nice (French Riviera)
Murren, Switzerland (high in the Alps, close to Jungfrau)
Prague
Copenhagen
Stockholm
Oslo
Balestrand, Norway (a fjord town)
Bergen, Norway
Amsterdam (staying in the nearby town of Haarlem)
Bruges

Back in the States, we'll be relaxing at the Jersey shore with family for a week.
We'll round out our visit to TX by seeing family in San Antonio for a few days before visiting friends in Houston and Austin. We're then off to Papillion, NE (suburb of Omaha) to visit family for a week.

This brings us to the fourth week in July. Here our itinerary is very tentative. The plan is to spend 2 weeks in the national parks on our drive northwest to Seattle. The stops: Mt. Rushmore, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Park.

After all of this nonstop fun, we're planning to live in a furnished apartment until we buy (?) a house/condo in Seattle. The plan is to eventually arrive in Seattle August 5th.
