Because Sarah and I will both have a few months off this summer, we figured it would be a perfect time to take an extended vacation and celebrate my graduation. We hadn't made any concrete plans until Saturday, but then I came across a cheap flight and some wheels started turning in my head...

Here's the plan. In late July, we'll fly from home to New York City, where we'll stay for a day and a half and take in any many sights as possible. From NYC, it's off to Copenhagen, Denmark via Reykjavik, Iceland. We'll only be in Iceland for eight hours, but we'll still try and do something, maybe see some ice or land or something. When we arrive in Copenhagen the next day, we hope to find Sarah's parents, who are planning drive up from France, and do some sightseeing in Scandinavia. Then, it's off to France until the middle of August, briefly back to Copenhagen (this time via Zurich, Switzerland and Dusseldorf, Germany), Reykjavik, and NYC, and then finally we'll end up back home.

The great part for us is that we get to take the adventure, AND our tickets cost significantly less than what we were planning to pay for just a flight to France. We feel blessed. And excited. Only eight more months.
