Trips to Europe -- so many great destinations!

How do you decide where to go in Europe? For me, it happens in a variety of ways.

Once I had a dream of a huge red bedspread and on top in brilliant satin embroidery were these words: "Visit Belgium in the Summertime!"

Wow....it couldn't be much clearer than that. Where to go and when to go. Two decisions that I often grapple over.

I decided to take Sarah, but the only trouble one of our passports was "in transit" after being renewed or some such thing....would it make it back to our mailbox in time for us to be in Belgium before summer ended?

After some calculations, I realized that the passport needed to be in our box on a certain date. (We were using stand-by travel vouchers, so buying tickets wasn't a scheduling problem.)

If it came by then, we'd go. Otherwise, it would need to wait until next summer.

BINGO! It arrived right on the last possible day and we threw out things together and headed for Belgium, arriving the very last day of summer.
