So I don't want to discourage anyone from coming to visit but the flights were not my favorite part of the day. From the time I got to the airport in KC to the time I landed in Berlin I was traveling for 17 hours. That is a long day of traveling. To make matters worse I was sitting in front of a screaming child on the flight from KC to DC. The child would not keep his seat belt on during the landing and his mom had no control. It was so bad the flight attendent yelled over the intercom at him. I laughed a little. I later heard her tell her co-workers she is not a witch. It was amusing, but the kid was annoying. Luckily this did not happen on my 8 hour flight. :)
The 8hr flight was as good as it could be. I slept for a total of 1 hour and watched a couple of movies. They give you a meal and a snack. It wasn't too bad except I could not get comfortable enough to sleep. The one time I really did fall asleep the captain came over the intercom and announced that we needed to put our seatbelts on because there might be some terbulence. This woke me up and I couldn't fall back asleep. Bastard!!
When I arrive at the place I am staying, I realized I would have to lug all my luggage up 3 flights of stairs. Now that may not seem bad but when you have 3 bags that weigh almost 150lbs (all together) that is awful. And there is no airconditioning, with means I was sweating very badly. And this place is just temporary so that means I will have to lug it all back down. Oh well, it builds character.
I was finally about to get another 2 hours of sleep during the afternoon. But it wasn't a whole lot. Hopefully my body will adjust. I also went and looked at an apartment this evening. The people were very friendly and the room was nice. It has a good view too. In some photos I will post you will see a tall tower with round bulb in the middle that is what I would see out of this window. I look at two more places tomorrow, so we will see what happens.
Well it is getting late here and I am exausted. Keep your eyes out for more. I did get to walk around a little today and I will post a few pics of what I saw. It isn't much, but give me time I will be here for a while.
I miss you all and I hope all is well at home.

ha ha I can just se you carrying up all that luggage up the stairs with no air....you made me smile after a hard day. One day...you will laugh too!
Glad all is well
I am so glad I remembered to look here, I wanted to be sure you made it safely. I hope you find a place soon, getting hot makes me grouchy in the mornings, Chad says I am a freak. The picture was cool. Glad to see the trip didn't take away your "pretty" words. :)
Sounds like your adventure has begun! I will totally be telling Ben one day when he is carrying something up steps for me and whining, "it builds character!" Haha! Good luck with the apartment search!
