You might not believe this but we were so tired by the time we got to Barcelona that I think we took about 10 photos total! We have definitely learned for when we go to the Baltics, going to London 3 days before the cruise! I missed Barcekona and I an not missing London!
Most of our travels are Dis trips but if anyone did an international section (London, Paris, ect) Id do that! And Ive only been to a handful of states. DH was not a big treveller until he discovered the "Magic"!
My kids have seen other canyons and sites, BUT they have never been to the Grand Canyon! Sistine chapel, yes, GC no! Bad mommy?!
Holiday elements, yes. That sounds like fun!
DR, I was afraid of complete pages too until weird! I liked it so much that I even angeled a spot for that one.
Start small, maybe one group and see if you like it. If you dont, then you know! If you do, endless possibilities!

Oh, and have fun on Friday!
Having dental work done so will not be driving to Mesa!
