Hi, I'm Danielle, aka Dwheatl (rhymes with Beatle, yeah, yeah, yeah
), and this is my mini-DLRP trip report.
DH and I will be married 25 years in December, and we agreed awhile ago that we would visit Europe for our 25th anniversary. Since we are both teachers, we are limited to the times that we could make this trip. You know the arguments on the boards about whether it's OK to pull your kid out of school to go to on vacation? Not an option for teachers. Rather than go during the holidays and have to squeeze the trip in, we decided to do a summer trip. With other responsibilities sprinkled throughout the summer, we carved out some time at the beginning of July for our vacation.
We found a trip through Costco that sounded good, four nights in London, then four nights in Paris. That seemed so short, though. I asked DH if we could add a night in each city. He's very easy-going when I'm planning our vacations, so he said sure, why not. Since my luck was so good, I thought I'd push it.
"What if we did a day in Disneyland Paris?" I asked. He asked how far it was. "Not far," I said. "Just about a half hour by train." He agreed. Now you know why we've been able to make it to (almost) 25 years of marriage - he's my Disney addiction enabler. That, and he's the handsomest, sweetest, sexiest guy I know (just in case he's reading).
Now that DH agreed to a day, I asked about 2 days. And when I found out that we could get a free night in London on our way back home (courtesy of British Airways), I asked if we could do 3 days in the parks, then take the late (7:30 p.m) Eurostar back to London, and fly out the next morning. DH said yes. Sweet!
And that is how our 8 day trip turned into a 2 week dream vacation.
Here we are on a bus trip to Stonehenge, just after arriving in London.
Now that you know who we are, I'm going to have to stop until tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Did you marry in second grade or something? 
limeys? 
Just hanging with the dwheatl's for a few days you can't help but see why they have been together for so long. They are wonderful people and I 
them both so much.
