Up up and away!

So Indiana decided to prepare us for the weather abroad, rainy and cold. Thank goodness or I would of packed my cool clothes thinking that how could any place be cold this time of year.  So suitcase just barely weighed in after stuffing few items in Kirks bag and taking out all the summer clothes.

All plans seem to be in order. Weather in Hamburg is same as Indy, 60 degrees and rain so we did not forget the umbrellas. House is in good hands, Haley, izzy, Jelli, and Gus when he gets home from Northern Michigan and the big fish country.

Hamburg here we come, plans to do the port Sunday and train world later. Yahoo!

Across the pond we go again!

This is a test run for the novice blogger, me! Hopefully this works.

Kirk and I are headed to Germany and England for meetings, conferences and tours of some awesome labs. And I am sure we will fit in a few adventures in between.

Some great fiction books about England and Germany that I have enjoyed reading up on to get some history painlessly, maybe not so true but fun to read.
