Palma de Mallorca

Image
This is a long way off, but back in October Jeff and I traveled to Palma de Mallorca, which is an island off of Spain.  It was a last minute trip that Jeff found three days before.  We awoke at 4:00am, so that we could travel the hour or so to the airport and catch our flight at 6:30am. After a quick flight, we arrived to a sunny palm-tree filled island that was coincidentally similar to San Diego.  Our first stop was the huge cathedral on the edge of the water.  It was beautiful inside and out, with a fantastic location. After visiting the cathedral, we searched out the bus to take us to our hotel.  We had a nice room with a great view.   Since it was such a sunny day, we headed across the street to the beach.  After a day of relaxation and leisurely reading, we found an Italian cafe for some dinner.  After a generous portion of gelato, we decided to rent a scooter to travel around the island the next day.  On Sunday, we headed out on our scooter to tour the island.  Altho

I have THE CUTEST neices!

While in Michigan, I got to spend a lot of time with my family, especially Melissa and her adorable little girls.  Lyla is 2 1/2 years old and is a ball of energy and sass.  She got her daddy's looks and her mommy's personality, with my sass thrown in.  Yes, I influenced her personality! ;)  She is adorable and so much fun to be around.  I love her to death and enjoy spending time reading books, giggling and spoiling her rotten when Melissa isn't looking! Amelia (Jeff and I's goddaughter) is 7 1/2 months old.  I can see both of her parents in her looks, but her personality (I know, she is only 7 months) is pretty relaxed like her dad.  She is a drooling baby, so you should make sure to have an extra shirt around before holding her.  Honestly, I don't really mind though. ;) She is getting so big already, and I can't wait until I can see her again.  She will probably be walking by then!

Many Miles to Michigan!

Friday, September 16th:  I woke up at 3:00am to be ready for my taxi by 4:00am.  Since I was going to the airport alone, I opted for not walking around Central London at 3am by myself to take a train or bus.  I got to the airport by 5am and got checked in.  After sitting around for awhile, we started boarding my plane. Once everyone was boarded  and ready to go, they announced that the pilot had found an issue with the engine and they needed to check it out.  Come to find out, someone driving a piece of ground transportation hit one of the engines.  Not good!  So after sitting on the plane for 30 minutes, they deplaned us and told us to wait in the gate area for announcements.  Then about 30 minutes later they informed us that our flight was canceled and we needed to go to another gate to get re-booked.  After standing in line for another 15 minutes, they told us that we had to go back out of security and get our bags and then go to the arrivals area check-in desks to be re-booked o
