We're Here!


After a VERY long day of travel we are finally here in Copenhagen. I have to say... KLM is probably the best airline we've ever flown with. They we're super friendly, and we had a very nice new plane. Each seat had it's own little entertainment center that you could pick your own videos, play video games, and EVEN learn a new language! Kelly and I both learned a little Danish... "Jeg elsker dig" means "I love you"... We learned that. We had a small stop over in the HUGE Amsterdam airport, which was kinda cool. Had a Starbucks...lol, then jumped on our next flight and we we're on our way to Copenhagen. Our good friend Chris met us at the airport to pick us up. We hadn't seen him in so long, but when we did, we just picked up where we left off. After he dug his VISA out of the garbage (that he accidently threw out while ditching some garbage) we managed to get out of the parking lot and on our way to Chris and Ina's house. On the way we stopped at Dogn Netto (a grocery store) for a little food, and off to the house, where we got to meet Mia (Ina's sister) and our new little nephew Quincy. He's is just the sweetest little baby. So happy all the time and full of smiles. We're so happy for them! Mia has been so gracious and is allowing us to stay at her place which is in the same building as Chris and Ina, just have to go down around the corner, so we're all really close. We had a great nights sleep last night, and then got up this morning, and Kelly and Chris went for a run. Then we went to Chris and Inas for breakfast, and that brings us till now. We're off to Inas parents for an early Easter dinner this afternoon, which we are looking forward to. We are panning on doing a bike tour of Copenhagen tomorrow or Tuesday, and we also have plans of doing a castle tour or 2.

That it's for now, hope everyone is doing well back home
Cheers
Kelly and Jesse

Before We Go


Okay, our big Trip is coming up...

In case you didn't know, Kelly and I, along with our friends Karlie and Derek are heading to Europe for 2 weeks, the second of which will be aboard a cruise ship.

Kelly and I leave March 26th at 7:45pm. We're flying to Amsterdam for a quick stop over and then on to Copenhagen, Denmark! There we will be staying with our good friends Chris and Ina, and their new baby boy Quincy. We're looking forward to that as we haven't seen them in a few years, and we haven't met our new little nephew yet.

Karlie and Derek will also be leaving Calgary Friday March 26th as well, but flying to Germany instead. They will be staying with and visiting some of Dereks friends who live in Germany.

On the 31st, we leave Copenhagen and Karlie and Derek leave Germany, and we all fly to Barcelona where we'll all meet up. We have 3 days in Barcelona to explore this city and see the sights, and then we board our Cruise ship on April the 3rd. We start in Barcelona, then travel to Nice France, Rome Italy, Naples Italy, Corfu Greece, Split Croatia, and then we end up in Venice Italy. We have a new port pretty much everyday and will be exploring quite a bit of "Mediterranean" Europe in a very little amount of time...

Keep checking back here, and we'll do our best to keep you up to date on our trip with stories and pics.

See you all soon!
Kelly and Jesse... along with Karlie and Derek
