The Time Is Now

Happy midnight, all.

Brandy and I are in the midst of our final preparations and packing arguments. In less than eight hours, we'll be on a plane headed for... well, a layover in Chicago first. But after that, we'll be headed for Amsterdam to begin our five-week, whirlwind tour of Europe.

Despite our historically bad timing (the currency exchange rate), we're really looking forward to this trip. There will be lots of wine (and beer and liquor and fatty foods), so I'll try to keep a running blog of the trip, complete with pictures if I can find fast enough Internet access.

So keep on checking the site, and maybe you'll be able to bear witness to the Wine Tour of Europe...
