... their Uni town for a surprise pressie of a trip to the theme park called 'Busch Gardens' for their special evening opening times and 'Howl-o-scream' additional extras in the form of 'scare zones' and 'horror houses'. The effort the park goes to in the form of costumes and decor is unbelievable! We screached and squealed our way through about 5 different themed scare zones (zombies, wear wolves, scary clowns, ghosts etc) where staff dressed up jump out the bushes or follow you and ...

... to customs. After successfully going through customs, we passed our baggage on to the connecting flight. As we rounded the corner from that, Conrad got ******. This was the time when he realized that his bottle of anise was still in his backpack! This was not going to make it through security!! It didn't dawn on him (or me, b/c I had forgotten that he had bought it) to put it into the checked luggage after customs but before the connecting ...

... train to Berlin.

Sunday we go back to Hannover and head down to Heidelburg and/or Kaiserslautern. The next few days are kind of flexible.

Around Thursday-ish, we need to be back at Ramstein to (hopefully) catch a Friday flight home.

Not sure if she heard right and a bit surprised my friend asked her to repeat the price and the classy flight attendant quickly replied, “Honey, your plane ticket’s just as good as a movie ticket. You gotta pay for popcorn and a drink when you go to the movies don’t ya?” Interesting analogy.

... squirrels just can't match up to the meal potential of a kangaroo or emu.

Here's some random stuff we learned:
- Australia has the US to thank for its becoming a country. Originally Britian had intended to establish its penal colony in Atlanta, GA, however after the American Revolution, that plan was squashed and they sent the outlaws to Australia instead.
- A kid's slide is referred to as a "slippery dip".
- In Australia voting is ...

... batter, turn on the griddle, and let you make all the pancakes you want for your breakfast or lunch. What a great idea! Tues. 12, Feb. This morning we woke up to find that Jodie had another flat tire on her bike. Once again, it was the rear tire; Well, I guess I needed practice fixing flat tires. With the tire fixed, we headed off on one of the long dirt/sugar sand roads that lead out to a wetland rehabilitation area. We went ...

... the land all hint at your location. The docks were easy to locate with just simple directions printed out before we left. (This was before fancy in car GPS systems on every dash in America.) As we approached the dock, I was amazed when my father pointed out the ship. I had been on a boat or two before, but I never expected to see something this large! After a quick and well ...
