Good-bye Scotland

Tomorrow we fly to Munich. We leave at around noon our time and will get into Munich airport at about 4:15pm their time. (We will then be 6 hours behind Michigan time.) Our new landlord is also a cabbie, so thankfully he will be meeting us at the airport. We of course have to pay, but its better than taking a train, then a subway, then a bus, then walking the rest of the way to our apartment with 3 big bags and two carry-ons.
We have been busy this week trying to cram more of sight-seeing in Scotland, packing, changing addresses, and all the rest of the odds and ends that comes with moving. We are now exhausted. After 8 months, you forget how tiring moving can be. Especially between countries. And on top of it all, since we are flying within Europe we only get one bag each. Lovely. Thank goodness mom, dad, and Mike's mom all brought suitcases home for us or we would be screwed. We still had to leave a few things behind, and pay for another bag. At least we didn't have to leave a ton behind AND the airline deems to have unrestricted carry on bag weight. We are using that to its fullest. :)
We have no idea what our situation in Germany will be. We don't know if we will be able to get Internet access in our apartment, if we will have phone access, etc. In other words, the posting may be even more erratic than before. But the good news is... we have plane tickets home!! :) Mike bought them last night so we now have a definite date we are returning to Chicago. So... we will see you all after August 1st. Our plane gets in at Dublin at 10:15pm and then doesn't leave again until 11:00am the next day. By the time we land in Chicago at 2pm on the 1st, I am sure that we will be more than exhausted... but at least we will be home again after our 10 month stint over here. It has been fun, but home is starting to sound awful nice. SO, we'll hopefully see you all in a couple of months!
