Euro Girl

Careful what you wish for. I spent years desperately dragging Shana all over, trying to get her to fall in love with travel, to show her as many places as possible, that she could live anywhere besides Phoenix, all kinds of people and cultures and languages, making her comfortable getting out there, teaching her a bit more, hopefully, than they would in a classroom, hoping for the day that she would be off on her own, leading the way, coming up with a plan of her own like this: March - Venice and Milan one weekend, Barcelona the next. Spring Break in April - Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels.

It just hit me.

That day has come.
