Hi Everyone. It is the night before our trip to Holland. We are packing up right now, and getting the house ready for our home exchange guests the Sederels. They have a travel blog also, if you are interested in seeing how they are enjoying California.

Anyway, we are taking a shuttle to the airport at 6:00 am. Then we go to Dallas. From Dallas we will go to Frankfurt. Once in Frankfurt, we will drive up the Rhine river and finally to the home exchange in Harderwijk.
We are flying on AA flight 2024 and 70. Will write again when we get to Harderwijk.
Love,
The Ross Family
