Leaving Next Sunday

Hello All!

Well, we are leaving for Dublin on Sunday. We are both very excited, and a little nervous. Neither of us have heard where we are working yet... which is a little nerve-wracking, but we're trusting the Lord to put us where we belong, can learn the most, and bring Him the most glory.

We officially bought our airline tickets to Naples, Italy, bought our eurail passes, and booked our stays in the hostels this weekend. We're "camping" out in a few places. It should be very interesting. If you know me (Whitney) you probably know I don't do camping very well, but I think things will change when I'm just excited to be in Europe.

The plan for the last portion of our trip is as follows:

We leave Dublin for Naples, Italy July 14.
July 15 we are visiting Pompeii (and possibly climbing Mt. Vesuvius in name of Jen :))
That evening we will be traveling to Rome.
July 16 will be spent in Rome, and that night we will be traveling to Florence.
We're spending two nights in Florence, because what an amazing city!! We didn't think we could see what we wanted to in just one day.
July 19 we are traveling to Arles, France. We're not staying the night there, just spending some time during the day and sleeping on the train.
July 20 we will arrive in Barcelona. We are spending the night there and then the evening of July 21 we will move on to Madrid. We will spend two nights there, and then July 23 we will board the flight home!

So, on that note, if you have recommendations of places to visit in the cities we will be in (keeping in mind that we only have short amount of times to be there...) please let us know!

Hopefully the next you hear from us, we'll know where we will be working!

Please keep us in your prayers!

Thanks-
