Yikes, its here!  I have just finished packing.  4- 50lb bags, 4 carry ons and 4 personal items.  We pushed this to the max.  I actually thought I was packing light!  Oh well.  Off to London in the morning.  We decided to take a day flight, as it would be easier on the kids.  We'll stay in London till Friday morning and then head to Basel to check into our apartment rental.

No air conditioning at our place.....not that I can't get used to that, but I must say I am a little spoiled here.  Here's to hoping its cooler in Europe than it is here!
