On Our Way (Soon)

In 48 hours we will be at SFO waiting to board our flight to Munich. The flight is scheduled to take over 11 hours and we will arrive in Munich on Wednesday morning around 10 am, undoubtedly jet lagged but eager to see nephew Matt, niece Michelle, their three kids Caellum, Calliah, and Kyleen, and niece and Matt's sister Jenny. We will be staying in an apartment in Garmisch-Partenkirchen not far from where the Conleys are staying. If Weather Underground is trustworthy, we will have rain on out first day, but since that will be the day we recover from the jet lag, rain should not be a problem. We will be in Bavaria in southern Germany close to Austria and Italy. Pictures we have seen make us certain that we will fall in love with the city and surrounding area. We looking forward to spending time with family, touring, relaxing, and sharing our travels with you.

While not the highest area, this observation spot is ideal for those who are not trekkers because it is flat and provides spectacular vistas of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the valley below and the Alps towering above. It's a very peaceful tranquil spot where a person can feel one with the natural beauty that envelops you. We spent over three hours there just being. It was wonderful and should not be missed if you come to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. That night we had a light meal and joined the Conleys for a stroll to the gelato shop and a park. Since we are in the higher northern latitudes, it does not get dark until close to 10 pm. We are loving the long days of late Spring. Saturday was another custom made day for being out and about with temperatures get...

Post Jet Lag

Jet lag is real, and the older we get the longer it takes for us to get our bodies in sync with the new time zone in which we find ourselves. Our adjustment this trip has been compounded by the fact that some food on the plane apparently did not agree with Dianne's stomach, so our day got off to an earlier start yesterday as we made an early morning trip to the Klinikum to make sure there was no need for medicine. Dianne was seen very quickly, got IV fluids, blood tests, chest x-ray, and a clean bill of health from the doctor. We were both very impressed by the care she received. Other than restrictions on mountain climbing (not on her bucket list), the doctor said there is nothing she is not allowed to do. We are so thankful to Matt and Michele for leaving us their rental car so we could drive to the Klinikum. We are also thankful the GPS in their car is programmed in English. There is no telling where we'd have ended up if I had been following directions in German. We spent t...
