15-11-2009 - Great Eurotrip NOV09

My mood while writing this blog: jet lag!

Hey Ladies!

So the Eutotrip started with a free military flight to a small base in Germany. We were told when we got there that we had to find a way to get to the other airport on our own. So the next morning we took a short cab ride to the train station and then a train to the city and then the following morning we took a bus to the airport. We flew to France and then had to take a train to the city the guys were going to pull into. We were there from Wednesday until Saturday when the guys came. It was like an eternity waiting for them!!!!! Then when we finally saw them they were stuck on the other side of the gate and we couldnt get to them for what seemed like hours but was probably only 5 minutes. We were jumping up and down and being all crazy but they guys had to have their game face on and not be silly like us. That first hug and kiss was just so magical! We practically RAN to the hotel and I'm sure you all know what happened next (ahem... 4 times) We went to Nice the next day and it was the most romantic place I had ever been to in my whole life! We got there around 4 ish and we found this great hotel on the beach and we got a great oceanview room. We walked down the beach for like 3 hours and watched the sunset. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen! We walked back and ate at this adorable cozy little restaurant and it was just too romantic and I cried almost everytime I looked at my husband. Just to be with him, right there, right then... I was just so over come with a joy I have not felt in a long long time! The next day we walked all over the city and hicked up this mountain... the views were incredible! We ate at the same romantic restaurant that night and the next day we went back to where the guys boat was. We hung out and kinda just enjoyed being with eachother for that last day. Wednesday Brian dropped me off at the train station and we headed back to the airport to get back to Germany. We went to a different base and tried for 3 days to get home. There were lots of other people trying to get home so we got bumped a lot. The first flight we were able to get was Friday at noon (germany time) it was a 6 hour flight to Newfoundland and then a 4 hour flight to North Carolina. We had to take a 3.5 hour $330 cab ride! It was almost 2am when I got to my house. There had been really bad rain with some flooding the 2 days beforeI got home and so my pet sitters couldnt get to the house to let the boys out for 48 hours. There was pee and poop all over my kitchen but I couldnt blame them but it took an hour to clean up after them. Then yesterday I had to go and get my car from Deleware. So today is the first official day not on vacation and what not. I need to do so many things before DH comes home! Well, I better get to it! Thanks for being here ladies. It will take a while to catch up with everyone so bare with me! LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!
