Almost every time I travel alone I think about how much better it would be to have someone with me. Not necessarily for the visiting but for the actual travel portion. When I have been blessed enough to have someone to travel with I never think about how much worse it would be without them.
I’m about to board a flight to Berlin. I realized sitting here that this is actually a fairly expensive trip; I will spend a little over 40 hours in the city. I have only a few things that I want to do, so hopefully I have enough time.
I left the organization of some of the finer details of the trip until today. Luckily it was pretty quiet at work so I found time to take care of these things. Though one of the details was the packing, which took place for about 20 minutes before I left for work. In my haste I forgot all bathroom things, and a coat. Luckily I remembered my Visa card.
Last night I had dinner with the Hammers. It was really awesome. We had home made stone-baked pizza. There was also feta pate, and a special cake that I had never had before. Everything was delicious and filling. On top of this, the apartment was quite homey and comfortable.
I am still not really prepared to think about the end here (despite my constant references). I am taking care of the necessary things but will put off what I can.
Marathon in 9 days, apparently.
