When my daughter and her ex were stationed in Germany in the late 90’s/early 2000’s I went and visited them a couple times. I was able to do that because my oldest son was a pilot for a major airline. It only cost me $25 each way to fly to Frankfurt, Germany. Flying was definitely much quicker than taking European cruises. On one trip I had to take the train from Frankfurt to Schweinfurt and the countryside was just beautiful.
They were stationed in Schweinfurt, Germany. If you click on each of the 3 “Germany” in this post you’ll see 3 different pictures I took while I was there. The country is really beautiful and for some strange reason I felt at home there. There is a lot of German in my heritage, that’s probably why I felt so at home.

No.. not me. My niece is taking my 87 year old mom to Florida next month. My other niece and nephew live there also my niece’s daughter just bought a house there. My Grand niece is in the Navy. They’re going to visit them.
Mom doesn’t get around very well and I hope that someone there has one of those walk in tubs or at least one that is low so mom can get in it easily. They will be flying down and I worry about mom being comfortable on a plane. She’s a big woman for her size and I worry about her having enough leg room.
They need to give passengers more leg room in airplanes!

I posted before about lost luggage and thought of a good thing to do when you travel, especially by plane. When you are packing your luggage you should either put a piece of paper with your name, address and phone number inside the luggage or use some Primera labels with that same info and stick them to the inside of your luggage.
Now you’re asking “why the heck should I do that?”. I’ll tell you why. If your luggage gets lost, or your luggage tag vanishes, it will be easy to locate you and let you know where your luggage is.
One thing you should never do is pack anything valuable in your luggage. Always put something valuable in a carry-on bag if you’re flying.
