I am writing this from a castle just outside Berlin. 14 hours of total travel time took me from Detroit to where I currently sit.
My German is limited to only a few words, so I am completely inept ... combine this with a reception staff who barely speaks english, and you end up in a situation like the one I'm in now. I am the only one here. I haven't eaten anything and was hoping there would be a restaurant or something ... but no such luck. I just left my room and stumbled through some dark hallways managing to find two oranges in a little room in the back of the castle. The fridge in my room had a Toblerone bar and two bottles of beer - these are becoming my dinner.
Interesting trip so far.
Update on the infertility front: My wife expects to start her period today or tomorrow ... she can just "feel it" - and she's got a very accurate sense about these things (has been 100% right so far) FYI - this Friday will mark the cycle day on which she started last month, so we're right in the ballpark. Laproscopy, here we come!
Congratulations to Tracy and Scott over at Wonder Twins - their babies were born yesterday. God knows they deserve it ...

Weird world of coincidences we have here...
We've been on the look out for a vacation destination for the next week or so and decided on Berlin!
Oddly enough everything is booked up midweek, so we have to go elsewhere.
Hope the period stays away for ye, have a good trip.
Come join me at my castle! Plenty of room! ... and apparently I have free reign of all the facilities (unfortunately the beer is gone ... but I saw some silhouettes near the oranges that resembled tap handles) Oktoberfest is next week ... I'm sure they wouldn't mind if an Irishman and American commenced the festivities a week early. We could kill off all the sperm with "Berliner Burgerbrau" Pils ... then blog in the following weeks about regret and remorse ...
Funny, Berlin was insanely priced for last week.
Ended up in Toronto Canada instead...obviously.
I do like Germany a lot though.
