Leaving on a jet plane

In about six hours I'll be picked up by my friend Robert and driven to Frankfurt International Airport. A mere two hour drive from Aachen but we are not taking any chances come hell or high water, I'll be on that plane and flying towards the States.

I haven't been home in a year. Its time for a reunion with Mother America. Father Deutschland is fun and I enjoy it for the most part, but I miss the simplicity of life, suburbs and good mexican food. Okay, much more than that I miss my family and friends and cannot wait to celebrate the holidays with them. I can already imagine the food, the drinks and the good times we'll have. This year, my German friend Marcus will be joining me and my family for the holidays. It will be so nice to fly transatlantic with someone again. I hate flying alone on that flight because its ten hours long and I have to becareful where I fall asleep. With Marcus next to me, I can snore, drool and whatever all I want. Big plus.

My feelings about Germany haven't' changed much. I've come to grips with living here and have gotten used to it for the most part. I enjoy living here and I know there are many things I'll move when I move back to the States. If only Germany were closer.....

Where else can one listen to French, German, Spanish and English music on the radio within in the hour? That is one thing I know I'll miss. I haven't been to the States for a year. We'll see my feelings on international living when I return on the 4th day of the new year.

The dollar slid a bit this morning, thats good news for me. :)
