My blood pressure was rising a bit more every moment, until finally we got off with a few minutes to get to our next gate. Read More

Merry Christmas Eve!

We have been having an amazing time on our trip so far, but I didn’t bring my laptop so I won’t be posting much until we get home. But I can’t resist sharing a few from my phone….
