Day 42 - An Amsterdam good time before we roam to Rome

So, as you all know, Kierstie and I have a trip to Rome upcoming.  We've booked the hotel but flights have been crazy priced for some reason (not that hotel was cheap).  After research for what seemed like hours upon hours, we determined that flying to Rome from Amsterdam is quite a bit cheaper.  Since Amsterdam is only 3 hours away by train, we said "To hell with it, lets do both".  So, we booked our flight to Rome from Amsterdam and we'll be spending 2 days in Amsterdam, followed immediately by 2 days in Rome.  

  
I know, I know...you're jealous. If I wasn't the one going, I would be too.  I can't wait to experience both cities, 2 places I've always wanted to go and now I get to go to both in the same week.  Canals in Amsterdam, Piazzas in Rome, sign me up.  The symbolism of our return tickets to Amsterdam is pretty sweet as well, our departure time is 4:20.  ;-)

Life has been a bit beige lately.  Not much new to blog about and I've been trying to focus on my book, but I'll try not to leave you hanging too long.  I'll have tons to share after our trip in the first week of June and I'll be updating as we go with local events of note.  The 25th anniversary of Starlight Express is coming up and there's an awards show for the cast as well as a gala ball, both of which we've been invited to as Cary's guests.  The gala ball will be attended by all manner of bigwigs and celebrities.   One person who I've been told will most certainly be there is Andrew Lloyd Webber, which would be cool.  Who knows who else might be there, it's one hell of a theater event over here in Europe.  I promise to take as many pictures as I can without being kicked out of the place.

One other thing for all you readers out there.  I began this blog hoping it was going to be more interactive.  I imagined readers asking me questions and challenging my views, but you all just read and move on.  Please...feel free to question me.  If you can't add a comment, facebook me.  I know the blog is not exactly user friendly at times, but I didn't create the page, just the text...don't hate the player, hate the game.

Lesson for the day.  Unless you're talking about some type of astrological event, there is no such thing as the "perfect time".  If you're waiting for the stars to align properly before you do something, you're just stalling.  Nike says it best...Just do it.
