I've been a bit silent on the blog because we've been busy getting ready for our summer holiday! Tomorrow, July 18th, we'll be escaping from the horrible desert summer and heading to more temperate summer climates! Our first stop is London for 8 days. Jared has to go for work for a week, and there was absolutely no way he was going to leave me in Dubai in the summer while he headed to one of my favorite cities in the world. So, I will be enjoying all of my favorite London sights and food (I can't wait to go back! I visited often when my favorite Aunt and Uncle [who are now my Wellesley Aunt and Uncle who have my three little cousins that I adore] lived there for four years, and also lived with them during the summer of 2003) while Jared works during the first 6 days. Then, we're staying two extra days so that he can have an opportunity to see more of the city as well.
Then on July 26th, we'll be taking the train to Paris for another four days European holiday. We have been wanting to plan a little trip to celebrate our 7 Year Anniversary (which was in February...), and spending some extra time in Europe seemed like a great idea. We figured it would be a shame to not take advantage of the geographical advantages of being in London 'for work'... So we'll enjoy 4 days of sights, food, wine, and CHEESE in Paris, before heading home to Boston for the remainder of our trip.
I will be home for about 10 days, while Jared will be home for 2.5 weeks (as you may recall the fateful rental car accident debacle that was Christmas '09 has limited the amount of time I can be in the US until the next tax year begins in September...).
Sooo, lots of excitement from us, and now I must finish packing before we head to the airport tomorrow morning! Cannot wait to get out of this heat and into some culture!
