A beginning of a new journey

I have arrived!

To all my followers, I have arrived to Germany. To those who don't know why I choose Germany, I choose Germany for a boy! Yes, Jan swept my feet away and have arrived in a small town of about 6000 people in Ottersweier, Germany. It was a long day with many mini naps in between from the 12 hour journey in a plane to another 12 hours before it was dark, before going to bed. I am staying at Jan's place with his parents. His mom didn't go to work so we had lunch with her. We has spaghetti and tomato sauce. Just like if i was at home making it myself. I feel just like at home. The taste was similar, but a bit more texture as it was gluten free. Then I took a nap....jet lag sucks. So tired. Then went into town to pick up a few things for dinner and then came back for dinner with Jan's parents. We had cheese, meat and bread!!! Just like I would have too....but not sure if this is what i would have for dinner. It's almost like an afternoon snack to me...hahhaa. but I was full. That's all it matters. But by mid-night, i was hungry....so perhaps it's not as full filling. hahhaa.
Today has been low key. I got to skype with my sister, run a few errands and then went for a mini hike at Ruhestein. This word means Silent Stone. It's a mountain for skiing and snowboarding and we went for a hike in the area. It's not as intense as the Grouse Grind....actually not intense at all. I didn't break a sweat. hahah. It was a leisurely walk. The chair lift only has one seat. It felt like I was in the 50's or something when the chair lift just got invented. hehehe. I guess they aren't as high technology as we are. :)
Then another nap. Yikes.....when does this jet leg end!!!!

My Departure!

My departure was quite eventful. Never purchased from Flight Centre, and not sure if i will again or perhaps it was traveling with Air Transat. I didn't get a ticket from Flight Centre, but it wasn't a big deal cause i was still able to get on the plane. But perhaps if i got the ticket, i would have had information about how much luggage to bring.When I got to the airport to send off my luggage, i had too much. I had twice as much stuff. It would have cost me $400 to bring what I had. In the end, I only paid an extra $150 to bring what i needed. But there was so many other things that i wanted. But i guess that's what i pay for in a one way ticket. So instead of a $408 ticket, it was a $558 ticket. No bad. None the less, i was still able to get on the flight. Whoohhoo.....leaving on a jet plane, I don't know when i'll be back again!!!!!!
