Kyle and Jen on a getaway

Because of the generosity of some great friends back home, Jen and I were able to take a weekend getaway to Romania a few weeks ago.  Jen found a great deal on a hotel in what we thought was going to be quaint little village just across the border in Romania in a town called Timisoara.  We had a grand plan to sit in the center and sip coffee and see some sights.  The night before we left our language tutor mentioned what a great mall this city had. That lead to a Google search of the mall and surrounding restaurants by Jennifer.  While she was looking for places to shop and eat (she found a sushi restaurant we ate at three times).  I was looking for Starbucks and yes the had one.  STARBUCKS 2 and half hours away..... these are the things I dream about.  So the plan changed rather quickly.  We took in the sights, took some pictures and headed to the mall.  We Christmas shopped and went to Starbucks and ate sushi, then we went to the hotel.  We got up the next day and went to the mall shopped, ate sushi and went to Starbucks.  Yeahp perfect getaway. 
We did more then that.  Most importantly we talked and talked and talked, and no one interrupted us.  It was amazing.  Hopefully we can do this yearly and keep reconnecting.
