Like repeatedly posting Munich is better?

How can you spot a blind man at a nude beach? It's not hard...

@Bo Then that person isn't being responsible.

You're right. Simply put, I never expected them to be.

So did anyone hear about that kid that killed his father...

Nope, what do you have planned, bo?

I feel like it would be best to provoke him into attacking me... if I tell him something he really hates has "infected" me, I could probably pull it off...

Oy. So ay I leave for vacation in 6 days and will be packed for it by this weekend. How soon do you guys pack for a vacation?

So what about the game you and your husband are in? Do we need to pause that?

Surely no one actually packs earlier than the night before???

We will need to pause that on monday. And no way I can pack the night before. I work 430 am to 930 pm.. yeah I'm insane

Yeah, I usually pack within 24 hours of departure.

Here's what you should do -- make a list now of everything to pack in Excel or Word. Then print it out and packing will be a breeze as you cross things off.

I always forget something that way. I pack pretty well from memory. My husband packs from a list though.

As long as you bring the critical stuff like prescription meds, most trips you can usually pick up anything overlooked once you're there.

For me, packing is easy. Number of days gone = number of dress shirts and dress slacks. Throw in a pair of jeans and something casual and wear casual while travelling. Razor, travel toothbrush, travel toothpaste, deodorant, pills, 2 belts, casual shoes, dress shoes, underwear for number of days plus 2, dark socks for number of days, 3 pair white socks., If it is gonna be cold, wear a coat and pack a dressy sport coat and a casual one. If not, wear the casual sportcoat and just pack the dress one. Load up pockets, laptop bag with equipment and pills, and travel humidor in the morning and pack the car up the night before of everything else.

Munich

Good idea about packing up the car the night before. I can get it done and let Mr CF deal with hauling it downstairs while I'm at work.

I leave for Berlin on Sunday... anyone ever been there? I don't care about Munich...

I remember a soldier sleeping next to me, riding on the Metro.

Been to Frankfurt, Friedrichshoffen, Lindau, and Munich, bet never been to Berlin.

How long you going to be gone for Bo?

Since you been gone, I can breathe for the first time.

Just a week. Another country I get to preview for my post-university life... always a good thing.

Sounds pretty elitist to me. I don't know many people who get to go to Europe right after college honestly.

I'm in high school, but hey, whatever. I am simply exploring my options. If I had to choose today, only two states in the USA would be on the list, so I figure I should look at it as something I can use in the future if I choose to do so... don't know how that's elitist.

IT isn't elitist, but it is a result of a life of privilege.

No doubt.

Which two states?

I can't speak for Bo, but Massachusetts would be one to me. Berkely School of Music and MIT? Outstanding schools and the tops in their fields of study.
