Keep your fingers crossed!

Winter weather is tricky, especially in places that are unprepared for it.

A few inches of snow fell on Brussels Thursday night (2 days ago), and the flights in and out of the international airport are still being delayed and canceled!

Alberto is supposed to meet me in Brussels today, but some snow fell on Milan last night, so we are just hoping his flight makes it here today.  Unfortunately, RyanAir gives shitty information on their website, as does the po-dunk airport that serves that company. You really just have to show up at the airport and hope for the best with them.

Keep your fingers crossed that no more snow falls on these winter unprepared cities, that Alberto arrives in Brussels in time for our flight to Minnesota on Monday, and that the delays and cancelations in Brussels are over by that time!

We are looking forward to Christmas at home (my home) this year. It's been 3 years since I last experienced a Minnesota winter, and Alberto is a bit frightened by the thought of negative degree (Fahrenheit) weather. We had to get new winter jackets, socks, hats, scarves, etc. I still don't have a warm pair of shoes... how easily one forgets what frozen toes feel like!

We'll be home soon as long as the weather holds up over here. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

We're looking forward to seeing everybody!
