European Trip

We are getting ready for our trip to Europe; eg, The Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany. In the Netherlands and Germany are two persons who, on exchange programs, stayed with us; we call them our "Dutch Daughter" and our "German Daughter". They have families, now, and we have never visited them; we are taking this opportunity to do so, spending time with them and their families, where they live.
In Denmark is a family, the wedding of the husband and wife I had the fun of officiating.
Since this is the first time we have traveled to Europe, as a couple, we are having the fun of learning all that is needed of international travel.
We want to be able to travel lightly. So we are doing our packing with the intent of being able to carry everything on our back.
We are also planning to have the fun traveling throughout our time in Europe, by train. We have already purchased Eurail passes.
We purchased our airline tickets last winter (with the help of our son-in-law, David Hanson). Given what has happened to fuel prices, we are very glad we did.
We are also learning how to use a blog as a way of sharing with all of you and allowing responses. So the whole thing is becoming a new experience for us.
We will, from time to time, keep our "journal" with photos, here.
Any suggestions anyone has will be greatly appreciated.

I'm excited to travel vicariously with you to Europe! My advice is to keep the posts brief but frequent. Pics are great, but only a few at a time.

Hi Mike and Marcia,
Thanks for including us in the trip. We are impressed with your tech now-how.
