Headed home...

After a great week in Berlin, we are headed home tomorrow morning. It will be a long day of travel but it will be good to get home and go back to our routine and see our dog! Everytime I saw a dog it made me think of Bailey and how much she would have loved all the walks we went on.

Anyway, see everyone soon!

Dresden Photos

I had a little bit of time to upload the highlights from our trip to Dresden yesterday:

Dresden.

Yesterday was Day 1 of the EPT and unfortunately for them, they did not make it through the day. I figure it is a good thing because now they get to spend more of their time experiencing Germany.

For example, today, we took a two hour train ride to Dresden. It is south of Berlin and gave us some nice time to relax and see the country side. Dresden has a lot of history and the architecture was beautiful. We had a nice time strolling around, having lunch and taking in the sights. We were happy for the train ride back to rest.

East Berlin Wall.

Not Wunderbar.

We had a safe and relatively hassle-free trip to Berlin after our cancelled flight yesterday morning. We were forced to check our luggage on our flight from Charlotte to Munich and they said they would check it all the way to our final destination of Berlin. However, they did not get our luggage on our connecting flight (there were 3 hours between the flights - plenty of time for transferring luggage in my opinion).

This was disappointing but we went to our hotel to freshen up and then went exploring. We saw the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag as we wandered near our hotel. We had our first beer and german sausage at a cafe by the river. Here comes the not so good part. We got back to our hotel to find our luggage had been delivered but that my MacBook Pro laptop had been stolen. They left the apple charger (not very worthwhile to me without the laptop) and my Canon camera.

Not the best start to the trip but I am trying to not let it get me down. The beer will help!

USeless Airways

We are leaving for Germany today! Joe and his dad are playing in the European Poker Tour (EPT) in Berlin this week. We're very excited for the trip!

This morning we received a scare when I woke up to an email saying our US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Frankfurt had been cancelled! What? They only give you 12 hours warning before an international flight? Luckily customer service got us on another flight through Charlotte so the trip may go on! Wunderbar!

Preston Prius!

I went to Preston Toyota in New Castle to pick up my new Prius! I'll be vrooming whirring past gas stations in the hybrid. Thanks to Bobby Preston himself for the great service and making the car buying experience so amazing.


Disclosure: Preston Motors did not compensate me for this review. Seriously, not even a little discount for all this praise!
