T-1: An Olympic Start

As a fitting start to our amazing trip, we spent the night before departure watching the opening ceremonies from the Olympics.  Although London isn't part of our itinerary (and we watched the show from exciting Bay Shore, Long Island) the ceremony, tears, and production value got us good and wound up for our trip.

Time is moving so slowly and we're sooooo ready to go!  Can anybody wind the clock a little faster?

But before we go, we wanted to leave you with one little moment from the opening ceremonies..  When nobody was looking, Her Majesty was seen pouting a little...  (do queens pout?)

Our next post will be travel DAY ONE written after we're ON THE WAY!
