one step closer to home

We are on our last leg in Germany before we flight out early tomorrow. It started with a repacking of our suitcases to make sure we could haul it to the train station. I know mine weighs at least 65 pounds. Finally we got our ticket to Stuttgart and boarded the fast train. For the first leg to Ulm, we realized we were sitting in a reserved seat, but the nice conductor found other seats for us. Then in Stuttgart's main station, we had to figure out where the local trains left to take us to the airport, we had only 9 minutes, but we made it with 3 minutes to spare.

Shalyn found us a nice airport hotel...verz chic and modern, but we aren't close to anything, so I think we we hang out in the room tonight and watch German\American movies.

Shalyn and Lana are getting a little giddy as the end of the trip draws close--a combination of knowing we are going home and exhaustion. I'm turning into the mother! Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing my chocolate. Aufwiederzan (I don't have my German dictionary to figure out the spelling! I'm also typing on a European keyboard and the z's and y's are switched!)

  1. I finally set up a blog---it took me a while, since our computer randomly will start typing everything backwards! Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying your blog, and I hope we can both travel to Europe TOGETHER someday!
