Hello loyal blog readers!
Welcome back to another of the Polich family adventure blogs. We've had to leave the Monkeys (and monkeys, giraffes, elephants, etc) behind this time, but we are excited to be getting a little bit of international soccer by hitting the tail end of the Euro 2012 soccer tournament in Europe. Sadly, no games in person for us, but we will get to watch the Italy-Germany game in Italy on Thursday. Hopefully it helps us fight jet lag to stay awake for it, and hopefully the crowd won't be too hostile as we root for the Germans instead of the Azzurri.
Erin has already started her journey, with a few days sojourn in the Swiss Alps around Lake Geneva. She is scouting out Milano for us, and Beth and I leave tomorrow to join her. We're not so excited about our middle economy/coach seats on the way there (and jealous that our parents are flying business class as I type this), but we'll put up with a few hours of discomfort for what is sure to be a fantastic journey.
We won't spend any time in Milan on this end of the trip, saving it for the finale. Our plan is to hop in our car and drive straight to Venice when we arrive on Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed for us that we actually get the automatic car we've reserved. Otherwise, the Budget rental car's clutch is in for a rough ride.
We'll keep the blog updated as we can, with pictures and stories. All depends on how kind wifi is to us across Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia.
Ciao (for now)!
