1 more sleep

Hi this is Momma Smith. This is it the last sleep before we set off on our German adventure.  I was successful in getting that 28" suitcase filled without using the expanded space.  We have packed snacks to have for when we cannot get something to eat in a hurry and for when we are on the trains.  So that will leave room.  Plus I will get rid of somethings  along the way.  This trip has taken an incredible amount of time to plan and get ready for.  But I know that each and every second will be wonderful. As most of you know I own my own  business and I have a lot of wonderful customers who have been fantastic letting me stock them up so that they will be looked after while I am gone.  I also keep a pretty busy schedule looking after Chris and all his pursuits as well as my mother in law.  But Chris has been incredibly patient and helpful in this process.  He has planned a lot of the trip.  We went to the library on numerous Saturdays so that he could read up on World War II and the Nazi regime.  As well as where the best beer halls and hot springs are (sweet kid eh). Even the knowledge he has gained through that is amazing.  Let's just say playing Jeopardy with him.................is now out of the question.  We have about 8 cities and towns planned for this trip.  I am incredibly lucky to be able to make this happen.  I have my wonderful husband who has been deceased 5 years on the 19th of Dec. for giving me the know how to keep the business he built going.  I have a great group of friends and family who have been so supportive of myself and Chris.  It makes it all easier.  I am not sure what we will find, but as long as I have my co-captain beside me, we will be fine.  We are starting to get good at this travel thing.  So if you are interested we will be trying to blog our way through Germany and we would love for you to come along for the ride from you armchair.  Only hope I can post pictures.  As they say in Germany Probst.
