Soooo, nach dem erfolgreich überstanden Jahreswechsel folgt hier der erste Eintrag in meinen kleinen Reisebericht. Silvester in Hamburg war anstrengend aber schön. Nach einem turbulenten Weihnachtsfest zuhause mit der Familie hab ich mich am 31. Dezember um 7:15 Uhr in den Zug Richtung Hannover gesetzt und nach einem kurzen Zwischenstopp in mein...

Landed in Frankfurt around 11am German time which was March 2011 USA
time for all I knew. I navigated my way through the enormous airport to
find my gate for the next flight and meet my colleague who drove over
from Holland. We flew to Hamburg and got there around 4pm.

Checked into the hotel, ran through some work emails, and wen...

We got up at a decent hour and went to the city to walk around some more. The Christmas market opened at 12pm so we venture back over to that area to check them out. It was amazing!! It is basically a large square that is filled with small booths in the style of old half-timber German houses selling good quality fine arts and crafts. Wood carvin...

I took the 5:20 am train from Braunschweig to the Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. Then I had to take the Straβenbahn to the airport to find Pam. I went to the arrivals and then to our "meeting point" which was the entrance to the S-bahns. I walked to the area and almost missed her! I was so excited to see her that I cried. It was just so good to see ...

Hamburg wasn't the most interesting city. My friend and classmate, Maggie, kept saying that if she was dropped in the middle of Hamburg, she would think she could be anywhere in the world... maybe even OHIO. We went on a walking tour our first day there, and it wasn't very stimulating besides two factors: our tour guide looked like PACKA BUCKY (...

Hallo zusammen, die Reisevorbereitungen sind voll im Gange. Wenn ich meinen Reisepass endlich bekommen habe, dürfte auch den Visa nichts mehr im Wege stehen. Maddi hat alle Impfungen bereits erhalten und ich bin mit meiner Tollwutimpfung auch in wenigen Wochen fertig. Unsere Rucksäcke sind da und wir freuen uns auf einen entspannten Reisebeginn ...

After I had breakfast, I realized it was my last day in Germany!! I also realized that I only bought one souvenir..which is strange for a shopaholic like me! I took the U-Bahn over to Mönckeberg street. This is one of Hamburg's most popular shopping areas along with Jungfernstieg street. It was so much fun to be able to use my knowledge of the G...

I was actually wantig to write this entry for a while and only now I got the time - actually I was really lookimg forwards to it, dont feel like an obligation.

I wasnt sure actually, for the sake of not worrying my momma - how open I´d like to be, but I figured as a general layout - honesty and sincerity work the best:

I had the cr...

Another weekend, another RyanAir flight, another trip to Germany, but this time, we flew to Lubeck. As it was a fair drive to Hamburg, we hired a car and drove in. Once in the town, we had a walk around and found that they were setting up for another beer and food festival. We love coming to Germany !!!!!. We walked down to the harbour, it was p...
