Insert Creative Title Here

Before I begin this post can I just confess that I hate trying to think of clever post titles.  On the other hand I also hate boring and obvious blog titles so you see the problem.  Today I am just not able to think of a creative title so sorry about that.  I also apologize for my long absence.  I don't even have the excuse that nothing has happened because lots has happened.  Today I am really tired so this will be a short post but I hope it will make you smile.

Recently I went to a bus tour of Europe.  It was an amazing experience a you can look forward to more stories about this experience soon.  One of the funniest things that happened was on my way back from London to Milan.  In Holland I bought a pair of traditional Dutch clogs (you know the wooden shoes?).  They were so fun I couldn't resist.  The down side of this is that they are pretty heavy and take up a lot of space.  I flew on a very cheap airline and because of this they only allow one piece of hand luggage.  This means that your purse or laptop has to fit in the hand luggage, or in my case my wooden shoes.  Well I simply did not have room for anything else in my hand luggage and was at the maximum weight limit as well.  So to "cheat the system" so to speak, I wore my regular shoes all the way to the gate carrying my clogs.  Then at the gate I switched my shoes and wore my clogs onto the plane.  This was surely a site to see as I had never before walked in the wooden shoes and to make it even better you had to actually walk outside to the plane and climb the stairs onto the airplane.  And when I landed I had to carefully make my way down the stairs in these shoes and to the baggage claim before I could switch back to my regular shoes.  I got many stares and weird looks but I got the clogs back and did not have to pay and extra fee so in all I feel it was a successful plan.

On another note, in exactly two weeks from today I will be home!  The time has gone by so fast I can't believe that it is almost over.  I have so much more I want to share from the trip but it will have to wait until later because I desperately need a nap.

Love from Liberty,
