Traveling Fool

Plans for my 2 1/2 week tour are progressing nicely. It's going to be a whirlwind, but I'm going to try and enjoy every minute of it.

I have an all-day tour that goes through Spain, Andorra and France; tiny Andorra, 'squee' (as a friend says); a half day tour in The Netherlands to see windmills and cheese making; and a tour through Anne Frank's neighborhood (I should double check that I get into the house as well). London is a little more relaxed since I have been there a f
