A guide to hotel living

Having lived in a military community, which I have now left, I know how to travel, I have been to over a dozen countries and stayed in countless hotels.

” The times they are a-changin’ “

In light of some of my favorite bloggers telling you about their busy lives, I’ve decided to tell you zamwiers what I’ve been up to…

Since Wednesday night I have:

  • Said Good bye to my best friends in Germany = (
  • Checked out of the Arms
  • Flown to Chicago from Frankfurt International Airport
  • Connected in Chicago and flown to Baltimore
  • Visited my friend Ryan on the Eastern Shore
  • Checked out the Apple store and priced my Mac Book Pro
  • Visited downtown Annapolis and the Naval Academy
  • Had a “Welcome Home” party
  • Played terrible in Wiffle Ball
  • Ate Chic-Fil-A
  • Picked up a nice cell phone (review to come)
  • Watched an Orioles game

Moving “home” has been tough, I’ve been home-sick for Germany and despite most of my friends leaving it still feels tough….

Anyway, I am connected here with my Mac Mini, it made it through customs and everything, and I am using some nice high speed internet.

Moving out…

I am blogging from a hotel here in Wiesbaden, one that everyone knows and usually stays at when the arrive and depart (as we are doing now).
