Well, it's official. Our extension was not approved and we are moving in 2012 instead of 2013 to Charleston, SC. We are thankful for a nice base/great location in Charleston, but not pleased about having to leave early. We really love it here, our house, our town, our neighbors, traveling, and well, just everything about it. Until our move, we have LOTS of traveling to do.

Upcoming travels include:

Thanksgiving in Porto, Portugal
FCB game in Barcelona
St. Anton, Austria ski trip
Burgundy wine tasting trip
A night to celebrate Shannon's birthday in Brussels
New Years Eve in Berlin
January trips to be decided
Birthday trip to Zermatt, Switzerland

We are also planning a trip to Capri & the Amalfi Coast of Italy, Istanbul, a Baltic +Russia tour, sailing through Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian Islands on a catamaran, and Vienna. Those all HAVE to be hit.. hopefully we can squeeze in a few more.. we shall see.

On the bright side, we will get to house hunt a little at Hannah's wedding and go wine tasting with Ethan and Kathryn in Napa in November. As for our yearly anniversary trip tradition, we will be leaving from Charleston, so where should we go?! We were thinking somewhere like Turks and Caicos, but since Charleston will be so hot and we're not used to more moderate weather, we want cooler. Thinking of going somewhere in Canada.. keep the traveling up, continuing to add countries to the list!
