In the great Griswold Tradition

I didn't really think about this until now, but the Nolasco family is about to embark in an adventure that pretty much mimics the National Lampoon's European Vacation movie. We are about to take a week long road trip through a few of the countries in Europe. But, the big difference is that Russ and Audrey were in their teens, while Alex and I are in our 30's...and Pablo is getting up there also.

You may ask..Why? I mean, it's not like we all live at home or anything..or that we don't have jobs (ahem, Pablo!). We do this because it's a wish my parents had that we all travel through Europe together. And after many postponements and conflicts, and even a frickin' volcano, it'll finally get done.

So, I am on my way to Geneva to meet up with the fam, pile up into those damn tiny little Euro-cars, and attempt to survive 10 days with the five of us...without killing each other!

I'll post as frequently as possible (as opposed to my ill-fated Dubai blog) and ask for suggestions on what to do in the city I'm in....so join me in what can only be described as a massive exercise in patience, with a little sight-seeing thrown in!

Seriously tho, this is gonna be a blast!!
