O'hare we are...

A quick stop at the windy city. Just enough time to have Chicago style pizza and a quick beer. We are Munich bound and free cocktails on the flight.... Woo Hoo!

Dorky Rob

Char thinks Rob looks like a complete dork because he doesn't match in his travel outfit sitting at the airport....gee thanks! At least I have shiny shoes!



Takeoff

It is official, we are now on our way to Deutschland! We love the Sactown airport for their free Wi-fi. We arrived at the airport early and did not have to stand in a single line. Rob even has enough time to get a shoe shine.

One week 'til take-off

We only have one more week to go before we depart for our 2-week whirlwind backpacking tour of a teeny-tiny fraction of Eastern Europe. This last hectic week consists of working, last minute trip purchases, trial runs of packing, backpack weighing, continuous planning ... oh and a Journey, Heart, Cheap Trick concert :)

wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' . . . I don't know where I'll be to-mo-o-rrow
