The Bed, The Bitch, and The Bathtub

bed-bitch-bathtub

We are quickly approaching the 1-month mark of our time in Germany, so I think it’s fairly safe to say, with certainty, that I hate the bathtub in the apartment and we will never be friends.

Last week, we went to Munich to visit Auer Dult. Yesterday, I walked into a salon and had my hair dyed back to my natural brown. These two things are related.

German Wings – 200% Less Molesterizing!

We flew from to München today, out of the Köln/Bonn Airport. I found a good fare with German Wings Airlines, and decided a 1-hour flight would be much better than a 6-hour train ride (with train changes).

Ersten Tagen – First Days

Blick auf mein Frühstück!

In the past I have said, when it comes to traveling, I love to be in a new place, but I absolutely hate the actual act of traveling there. That is still true. Even when things go exactly as planned, it is exhausting. Our flight was on time leaving, but we had to stay in [...]

Everything’s Gone To Hell In One Day

blahblah

<– A drawing would go here, if I hadn’t spent most of the day crying hysterically. Everything was falling nicely into place for our departure to Germany. ChiefDork got us an apartment confirmed, I had booked a kitty-friendly hotel for the first two nights, and we had plane tickets for a nonstop flight. I took the [...]
