The Plan (or lack of)

  
Thurs., Aug. 7th we head north to Vancouver, B.C.for the night.  Since Doug is a Canuck, we are excited to begin our trip in Canada.  We fly out on Friday the 8th via Air Transat and arrive in Amsterdam at 11:30am Saturday. Got my night shades, neck pillow, and ear buds...I hope to sleep most of the flight, but may be too excited.  One of the docs at work gave me a tip on "supplements" to take the first and last days of the trip to alleviate jetlag. Hopefully it will work!

Sun., Aug. 10th we board the Elodie, settle into our assigned staterooms, get fitted for our bikes and get oriented to the boat that will be our home for the next week.



Sun., Aug. 17th we arrive in Bruges and leave the Elodie.  We will be staying at the Cordoeanier Hotel in Bruge for 2 nights.  I am really excited about our stay in Bruges.  Have you seen the movie The Monuments Men? I want to see the Michelangelo sculpture of the Madonna and Child!  How about In Bruges?  I want to see the churches and town square. I hear it's beautiful...even though Colin Farrell called it a sh*t hole!


Tues., Aug 19th make our way back to Brussels and fly to Venice..all before 6:30am.  Not sure how that's going to work, but it definitely involves some napping at some point!  Here is where the "plans" end.  Right now we don't know where we are headed and will see where the adventure takes us!
