I spent most of the morning trying to figure out how our Eurail passes will work. Unfortunately, there are some extra reservation fees that we have to pay each time we travel between countries, but we are in this thing now.
Betty went to the temple this morning with Chris Condon and Crystal Bahr. It is just what she needs: some time with friends and with the Lord in His house. She also had lunch with Gabby Moss.
While I was working on my laptop, River wanted to do yoga. She is the cutest.
Also while I was working it dawned on me that our Sapphire Preferred credit cards -- which have no overseas transaction fees -- will expire while we are gone. Chase will overnight them to us. I also realized that I can’t find my Chase debit card. That is a huge problem. Hopefully Betty knows where they are.
At lunchtime I took the kids to the college for LDSSA lunch. We saw Roger Butters there. He said we will never regret the money spent on this trip. It’s worth mortgaging the house for. We might have to do it.
In the afternoon Betty and I met up at Aaa in Jackson to get our international drivers licenses. Now we can borrow or rent and have a little extra protection.
Tonight we had dinner with the Condon’s. We love our pizza nights with them. It’s as comfortable and uplifting as dinner can ever be with friends. We have missed them dearly, and we will miss them on the next leg of this journey.
We finished the day watching a few more minutes of The Longest Day. The kids seem to enjoy it, but it makes everyone really sleepy. I just want them to appreciate Normandy as much as possible.
