The past few days have been spent getting a few key things done and recuperating from the traveling. Monday we hit the city hall and turned in some paperwork. Before we an get my residency permit, we need a bank account in country with money in it, so today we went over to the bank […]
Sunday was a pretty lazy day. We slept in, then went to McDonald’s for breakfast, since all the stores are closed on Sunday and we had no food. It’s weird though. It’s the exact same food as in the states. It’s not exactly fine cuisine there, so how did it even make it in to […]
Saturday was a busy day. We didn’t have bed sheets, so we kind of made due. There were pillows and weird blankets. They do things a little different over here. Instead of having a blanket, you get a liner, and some interior insulation. The things the dorm provided us are the insulation bit. We need […]
The train ride was pretty nice. I actually cat napped the whole way, but Mary Jo paid attention to the scenery. I did notice this insane looking tower though. It was extra odd because I could have sworn I had seen the same tower in Frankfurt. Oh, we also watched “The Hangover”. It was OK. […]
The final leg of the flying was about 2 hours. At this point I wasn’t feeling so great, so I napped some more. It really helped. Here’s what we looked like before my nap: Before I knew it we were sitting on the tarmac in Frankfurt, Germany. We were at the way back of the […]
The big 8 our flight went OK over all. The plane had little TVs built into the seats in front of us, so we got to watch movies the whole way. That bit was nice… but a hair depressing. Before we took off I was looking through the selections. You know what they had? Iron […]
The big trip began <strong>early</strong>. We got up at 5AM, and were out the door from my parent’s house at 6AM. We drove to Watkins to meet Mary Jo’s parents. We got there a mere 30 minutes late. Super fog and a school bus slowed us down quite a bit. From there we all carpooled […]
I’d love to be posting about all the cool stuff we’ve been doing, but still no Internet in the room. There’s also no expected fixe date. So, to people that have been having issues with blog passwords; I’m sorry. I just won’t be able to do anything until we get that connection. 🙁 However, we’ve […]
I just told Mary Jo I wasn’t blogging on this site… which was true, but now I am. I just wanted to let everyone know we made it. Internet isn’t up and running in our room yet, so we’re at an Internet cafe temporarily to let people know we made it. So, that’s it for […]
Tomorrow we leave. It’s going to be a hectic few days as we navigate our way over there, then get set up in our new place. I imagine there will be some tension during the travels. I’ve already apologized in advance. 😀 On an unrelated note, if you registered for the site and didn’t receive […]
