The Big Adventure Starts Today

Not the most inspired photo in the world, but yes, we are sitting on a plane and yes, this is our wing tip. The sun is setting on a hellishly hot and humid day in the Twin Cities, the car is safely ensconced in a motel parking lot, and we are off to Copenhagen (via Reykjavik).

It's going to be an anti-holiday of sorts - we're exchanging our peaceful, uneventful country life for a fretetic 3 week (Mr L) and 4 week (me) tour of six countries (and six currencies). Trains, planes and automobiles. And a boat.
