Okay, I am getting excited.  Life has been a crazy whirlwind for the past few weeks and our upcoming trip has taken a backseat.  We have had a variety of house guests as well as my sister’s wedding to occupy our brain-space, but the last few days have given a small reprieve and aside from digging out from under a giant pile of laundry I’ve also had a few moments to start planning and thinking about our vacation.

Perhaps I’m an over-planning nerd, but I just got off of the KLM website where I spent the better part of 10 minutes looking at the movie choices for August.  I don’t like wasting my time checking out all the movies they have when I’m on the plane and could actually be watching one.  Wow, that makes me sound a little obsessive.  In any case, I have decided the first movie should be American Pie Reunion.  Definitely not an Oscar-worthy movie but I’m sure it will give a few chuckles and start the 9 hour flight off on the right foot.  I learned the hard way that you should never watch intensely emotional movies on an airplane, as there is nothing worse than trying to stifle sobs and wipe away tears with a rough airplane napkin while the guy next to you is chuckling at some Will Ferrell comedy.
