I Can't Wait For Fall, Part 3

I have three reasons to be extra excited for this fall besides just the leaves changing color:

#1

Skymile payoff

Ryan has assigned me to write this one.

We have been great cheerleaders this summer as most friends and family have taken exotic and exciting summer vacations.
Family:
Justin ..... everywhere twice, India, Paris, Hawaii
Wendy and even Benjamin.... Hawaii
Branagan..... Alaska
Mom and Dad..... Russia (again)

Well, it is finally our turn. We have saved our pennies and flight miles and are headed to Turkey and Greece (with a slice of Paris and a dash of Amsterdam). Our preparation has included reading Lonely Planet's Greece, Rick Steves' Istanbul and the Bible. It is pretty neat to read in Acts about Ephesus and the Temple of Diana that we will soon get to see! So, we have 3 weeks and counting. If you have any advice, please share.
