It's been a crazy week! Hunter and I finally made it to Germany on Thursday...it was some journey. The plan was to take a military flight which would be free for us, but that didn't happen because an important document didn't come in. So we finally broke down and took a flight out of London. To all those moms who have flown alone with their children- kudos to you!! Can you say stressful!? Cause that's what it was s-t-r-e-s-s-f-u-l! At one point I almost took out a china man's most favorite body part with our luggage....why do those things happen to ME!?
All that aside, we landed safely at the airport in Germany. One feat down, a few more to go....Now to rent a car. Thank GOD most Germans speak English. That made renting the car easy. Next feat- driving on the right side of the car, on the right side of the road (which I'm no longer used to!), in another country where I can't read the signs, and don't know their driving customs (can I turn left on red if nothing is coming!?)...AHHH, is this day over yet? Fortunately our GPS/SatNav worked in Germany which got me where I needed to go, but it's still unnerving not being able to read signs...especially the warning signs!
Next feat- picking up Aaron from a restaurant, one that I don't know how to get to. This would have been easy had I had the zip code. After driving around for an hour, and turning around somewhere around 20 times, Aaron eventually walked to the base where I picked him up. FINALLY- we get to see Aaron after a whole month! Hunter was estactic and wouldn't let Aaron out of his sight. Distance really does make the heart grow fonder!
The rest of this week is going to be spent exploring the local villages, and next week exploring the local countries! The French boarder is a mere 30 minutes away...Have I ever mentioned I love Eurpe!?
Stay tuned for my post about driving on the Autobahn!
