I thought it was going to be like sliding down a greased rope to go home. I was wrong. Actually getting out of Munich worked fine. The hotel we had chosen was right above the S-bahn stop of S-8, the line that runs directly to the airport. So after checkout,

Time for this one to go home! Albeit-more than a little sadly. One of the things I marvel about, in an age of jet air travel, is how I can wake up in a vibrant city like Munich, and then 18 hours later be laying my head down in a

And it looks like a good time could be had-if I was free to explore it…………. There are indications of some really primo nightlife it seems. Not that I am going to see any of it. Have seen plenty of stores though, lots of ceramics and Bohemian glass. Pix to

On the way to Prague this afternoon. For some strange reason you have to go to the south station to get to Prague which is North. Don’t ask me-that’s where the train runs from. Yesterday though was a good day. We followed up on our Schonbrun visit, by taking the

Maybe. I’ll have to get back to you on that. I may need a vacation from my vacation………. We got here in one piece 30+ hours after departure. Long story that will have to be told tonight. On the plus side, I can recommend Stiegl beer in Salzberg. Seher gut.

In a perfect world, I would not be able to be blogging right now. I’d be on my fourth glass of wine-or maybe even a post dinner cognac and hoping that booze would swirl me into a few hours of sleep before I arrived in the “Old Country This, however, is

Looking for some excitement that cannot be found here in Shopping Mall. International travel-passports, planes, trains, tickets, lounges, beers, sweet talking your way into business class, bags, lines at immigration-the thrill of opening a hotel door in a new city. I did love it so………… Its one reason why I
