Day 12, Sun 9/4: Going Home & Final Thoughts
[Started this Sunday morning in Berlin; finished it Monday morning at home.] Since we are going home to separate cities, we are of course on [...]
Day 11, Sat 9/3: Berlin, Part 2
What a day. We packed a lot in and were pretty happy with it by the time we were done. The photo editing though is [...]
Day 10, Fri 9/2: Potsdam and a bit of Berlin
Today was pretty light. We were both pretty tired and feeling the full effects of the prior 9 days. It's shocking to me now to [...]
Day 9, Thu 9/1: Berlin, Part 1
It's not quite 5am on Friday morning as I start this. We got back to the room last night a little before 10pm, which is [...]

Day 8, Wed 8/31: Dresden, Part 2
It's only 5:00 and we are done for the day, well sort of. We finished our agenda early and decided to continue with the "take [...]
Day 7, Tue 8/30: Dresden, Germany
[Wow, this internet is so much faster than the one in Prague!...actually the one in Vienna, too...] We set the alarm for 6am, packed up [...]
Day 6, Mon 8/29: Prague Part 2
We came back to the hotel early escaping a thunderstorm, but we were pretty much done with our day anyway. I thought "yay, I can [...]

We each slept well and headed down to breakfast just after 7am. What started out as a leisurely morning thinking we had lots of time, [...]
Day 3, Fri 8/26: Vienna, Part 3
I slept much better last night, 8 hours total in two shifts but I'll take it. Dan didn't sleep as well but felt rested enough. [...]
Day 2, Thu 8/25: Vienna, Part 2
So much for catching up on sleep. I went to sleep easily just before 2am, but was up wide awake at 4:30am and never went [...]
Day 1, Wed 8/24: Vienna Part 1
We both slept well: Dan 7 hours, me 8. I haven't slept that much in months. Hoping to catch up on sleep on this vacation [...]
Departure: Monday/Tuesday, 8/22-8/24: Sacramento & Raleigh to Vienna
[The majority of this was written in the lounge Tuesday afternoon during my 5 hour layover.] Monday was the first full day off I'd had [...]
Pre-Departure
I typically do this entry a mere week before leaving, but I'm feeling the need for a little distraction this morning: a combination of tired [...]

Gratitude for Grief (and how I got there)
It’s been a long time since I’ve written. So much for my intention of at least once a month! I’ve had several inspirations but nothing [...]
