Home Stretch!

Luggage is packed.  Luggage is weighed.  Flights are confirmed.  Boarding pass is printed.  Phone service is suspended.  Goodbyes are said.

My flight leaves around 4:30 pm (CST) from Chicago O'Hare.  I'll be in the air for just over 8 hours, until I land for my brief layover in Stockholm, Sweden around 7:30 am (Germany is 7 hours ahead of America's Central Time).  I'm scheduled to arrive in Hamburg, Germany around 10:30 am.

I have a growing list of things to do once I arrive in Europe, but I'm pretty sure I got everything done that I needed to accomplish while I was home.

Lüneburg here I come!

And So It Begins!


It's packing time!  So much to sort through, so little time.  I've begun the process, but I still have a long way to go.  I'm slowly but surely whittling down my pre-flight to-do list, but constantly adding things I need to do once I arrive in Germany.  The trick for packing is going to be deciding what things to put in my checked bags, and what to keep with me in my carry-on.  Flying economy means I can't pack a whole lot in either place.

I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with everyone while I'm abroad!

I probably won't be reachable by phone while I'm overseas, so the Internet is the way to go.  I can't wait to hear from you!
