The Eve of Departure

Just finished packing for my trip to Germany. My trip that begins tomorrow that is. Every trip I create a timetable in which everything gets done incrementally throughout the weeks leading up to my departure and, per my usual, it all gets done the day before (and the day of in this case as I still need to hit the bank before I leave). Those who know me well will show no signs of surprise and will, in fact, be rolling their eyes at the typicality of the scenario. Some things will never change, Dad.

I'll be arriving in Düsseldorf, Germany Wednesday morning, just a few days before my friend Nico's birthday. Till will be up for the weekend and several shenanigans are already on the docket. Those who read a previous blog of mine will remember Till as the friend that talked me into a marathon that neither of us trained for. We tend to make really good decisions together.

After Nico's birthday party my plans become a bit more fluid. I intend to see a friend in Brussels at some point and eventually make my way down to Munich (a city which comes highly recommended but which I've as of yet avoided). Otherwise the itinerary is more or less open. Wish me luck as I sojourn my way to Austria and adventure!
