Summary
In May, 2023, our family had the incredible privilege of taking a 45-day trip to Europe--the redo of a previously attempted trip that Covid killed.
In this episode, we’re chatting about how the trip came about, some of the hiccups we faced in the months leading up to it, a bit of our itinerary, and how the Lord orchestrated everything so perfectly to make it a literal trip of a lifetime.
I also share some of my favorite moments, as well as a low moment or two. Oh, and a buffalo. But you’ll have to listen to find out what that is!
Stay tuned for next week when we chat more about OGEA (see title of the this episode if you’re confused ;)).

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Emas for Mama podcast I'm your host Abby Halberstadt |
| 0:09.6 | happy wife mama to 10 Bible Bible Believing Christian. |
| 0:13.0 | And on today's show, we're going to start a series |
| 0:15.0 | that I don't actually know how long it's going to last, |
| 0:18.0 | but we're going to have at least one or two episodes, |
| 0:21.0 | I think, on the grand family adventure that we took to Europe. |
| 0:25.4 | I've been having a lot of requests for me to talk about the logistics of how we |
| 0:29.7 | planned for that, the countries that we visited, the highlights, what we loved most, you know, how we planned for |
| 0:36.7 | meals, just kind of all the things. |
| 0:41.4 | And so today I'm just going to start with a general overview. I think that I will end up |
| 0:47.8 | combining some of those topics because I can't imagine talking about logistics for 30 minutes. |
| 0:51.8 | That might work better in a blog post and I may write a blog post which would have a lot of links for you guys. |
| 0:56.6 | But today I just want to start out with kind of the backstory for how this trip came to be and then to give you a little bit of an overview of what the trip was like. |
| 1:07.8 | Maybe I'll give you our high-low buffalo and I'll explain what that is when we get there. So just a |
| 1:14.6 | jumping off point I started talking about this in a couple of episodes I think when I |
| 1:18.6 | was talking about my birth story series because I was explaining why there was going to be a gap in service for |
| 1:26.1 | this podcast and talking about the fact that the reason was I had tried to record as |
| 1:31.8 | many podcasts as I could leading up to this big trip and I didn't get all of them filled in because we were gone for six whole weeks. |
| 1:39.0 | So you probably know the backstory to some extent. But the backstory is this about four years ago, maybe closer to five, four and a half, Sean and I started talking about the concept of taking our family on a big trip. And he and I have both been to |
| 1:57.1 | Europe together twice in two separate scenarios. One was when I went to Europe with my mom for 21 days on a Rick |
| 2:07.6 | Steve's tour called Europe through the back door. If you've ever heard of Rick |
| 2:10.9 | Steve's you'll be like, oh yeah I've heard of this I know what this is, and it's supposed to be kind of an off-the-beaten path, little-known location, stay-in-cole quaint, bed-and-breakfast type trip. And it was, it was amazing, my mom and I had a blast. bed and |
