I think we're gonna try it again. Wish us luck.
As you know, Loraine and I travel. Going to places that are different than Marquette, as great as Marquette is, opens our minds, exposes us to new things, and, perhaps most importantly allows us to try chocolate we normally wouldn't get to try. In fact, one of the things people like to say to us upon seeing us (at least after they say “we see you walking everywhere”) is “So, where are you going on your next trip?”
I guess as far as reputations go, it's not the worst to have.
Anyway, as you well know one of the places we love to go is Europe, but because of Covid and a bunch of other factors the only time we've been there since early in 2019 was for a quick trip to a soccer match last fall.
Well, it looks as if we're gonna try it again coming up in May. It's won't be one of those free-ranging rent-a-car-and-drive-through-six-countries adventures, as things may still be a little bit too up in the air over there for one of those. But what we're gonna go is fly into Frankfurt, hop on a train, and spend a few nights each in two German cities, Kaiserslauten and Freiburg. We've never been to Kaiserslauten, but Loraine's favorite soccer player was born there, and she's curious as to what the place is like. As for Freiburg, we've been there before, but I do think it MAY be my favorite place in the whole country, and seeing it in May, when everything is blooming, should be spectacular.
At least we're hoping so.
I don't have much more to say about the trip, other than the airline tickets are ours. But wish us luck. And now, when someone asks where we're going next, we actually have an answer.

Speaking of my favorite travel partner (and the best travel planner) in the world, it's her birthday today. So if you happen to see her around, make sure you wish her a great day. Because, and I may be a little biased about this, she deserves it.
Happy birthday, Loraine!
Love,
