Fly Away

Dan left today. We have spent the last few days/weekend doing "Americana" type things. You would not believe how difficult it is to really find things that are American. Anything we would want to eat, from a different country. We were able to go bowling, enjoy beer, watch a ball game, eat steak n shake and go mini-golfing! That was about the extent we could think of! How sad! 

Anyways, Dan is currently flying somewhere over Canada, heading to Dublin from Chicago and then on to Amsterdam. He should arrive tomorrow at 12:30 their time, 5:30am our time. The next week or so will be crazy as far as communication goes. He is staying at a 4 star hotel (thank you university of Leiden! see pic above) . Hopefully everything will run smoothly and he will start work on Thursday!!!
In the meantime, it's time for me to go into full wedding planning/packing for the Netherlands mode to keep myself busy. Hopefully these next 12 weeks will go by very quickly. And then we can get married and move to Leiden! Hopefully there will be more pictures of the actual city we'll be living in to come after Dan arrives!!!
