Germany does Christmas BIG. Christmas Markets have opened and the smell of warm Gluhwein has filled the market squares. People are lighting their Advent wreaths, and there is a festive feeling in the air. It's my favorite time in Germany, and my family has taken on many of the traditions listed in <a href="http://www.thelocal.de/20141126/how-to-ready-for-christmas-like-a-german">"How to prepare for Christmas like a German"</a>. What about you? Are you preparing for Christmas like the German's do?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We stumbled upon this quaint little church on our last day in Portugal. The church is located in Silves. It was a wonderful little town situated above the Arade River in the Algarve region and well worth a visit if you are ever in the area.</div>

<br />
I love traveling to England! It's a short 50 minute flight, they speak English, and oh the sight seeing! Every visit it seems I stumble upon a new location, or a new angle to photograph a location that I have visited numerous times. Take a look at why England is one of my favorite destinations... </div>

I recently spent a weekend in London with a friend of mine. We had a nice weekend of sight seeing and taking photographs. But the cherry on the cake was in Notting Hill, where we accidentally stumbled into a foodie's version of HEAVEN...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipease/"><span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="5c7ab8d12cef378e8e4369a2a301ddbfa244e5ff" grtype="null" id="GRmark_5c7ab8d12cef378e8e4369a2a301ddbfa244e5ff_Recipease:0">Recipease</span>!</a> </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Who knew this place existed? Well, I guess if you are from London, you knew<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="9f2a5c06010d43681aba301d4981bc47931601e0" grtype="null" id="GRmark_9f2a5c06010d43681aba301d4981bc47931601e0_...:0">...</span>but I didn't!! We walked in and were immediately greeted by delectable smells and amazing sights. We were lucky enough to happen <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="62e5de17ff108c7512682af3b7f40e1d484d3940" grtype="null" id="GRmark_62e5de17ff108c7512682af3b7f40e1d484d3940_into:0">into</span> <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="62e5de17ff108c7512682af3b7f40e1d484d3940" grtype="null" id="GRmark_62e5de17ff108c7512682af3b7f40e1d484d3940_Recipease:1">Recipease</span> when a class was going on, and while these students sipped wine and chatted, magic was happening <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="62e5de17ff108c7512682af3b7f40e1d484d3940" grtype="null" id="GRmark_62e5de17ff108c7512682af3b7f40e1d484d3940_at:2">at</span> their fingertips! Homemade pasta was being produced with ease. No frantic looks on their faces, no flour being wiped across a their brow as they succumb to the pressure of cooking. No, it was nothing but ease and fun that was happening in this amazing kitchen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, I love me some Jamie Oliver! I am all about his cookbooks and his show, and I have to admit that I LOVE it when he says "give it a <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="aac8d75b331f54f7df0ac68d8690694473fff3dd" grtype="null" id="GRmark_aac8d75b331f54f7df0ac68d8690694473fff3dd_waz:0">waz</span>" when he uses his food processor! We have adopted his use of wood boards as serving plates and I look forward to his Christmas cooking shows, so you can understand my excitement as I took it all in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you walk into <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="fd099de9742407e04522ba6b74cf9e5d9fe9733a" grtype="null" id="GRmark_fd099de9742407e04522ba6b74cf9e5d9fe9733a_Recipease:0">Recipease</span> the next thing you notice after the smell, the laughter and the ease at which these students are cooking is the layout! Genius, pure genius. The store/school/cafe/foodie amusement park, has cooking stations as its focal point. This is where the students cook, sip wine and apparently, have a grand old time! The cooking stations are surrounded by food, products and a cafe.</div>

There is everything you could ever want.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Piles of wood boards, cookbooks and serving bowls filled the tables in a way that makes you stop for minutes just to soak it all in. It is the personality that is Jaime Oliver and his cooking show all wrapped into a Notting Hill storefront!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We could have spent the day in this little slice of heaven, however, there were tours to be taken of London. Walking out onto the street after being in Recipease was a bit of a let down. The colors were a bit more dull, the smells not so tantalizing and the laughter was not filling the air. If you are ever in the UK, find one of the <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="b4b39410e9ed262cbde401abddc301985d4054e6" grtype="null" id="GRmark_b4b39410e9ed262cbde401abddc301985d4054e6_Recipease:0">Recipease</span> locations and go fill your senses with the sights, sounds and tastes of this amazing place. I have made a promise to myself that I will be taking the short 40 minute flight back to London and I too will be one of the lucky one's, learning to cook fresh pasta with the ease of a pro, a glass of wine and laughter!</div>

Summer this year went way to fast. Once school was over, we headed back to the states, and the place that we call "home"<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="e77e401a8f59299dce05d874d6f699941638a860" grtype="null" id="GRmark_e77e401a8f59299dce05d874d6f699941638a860_ ...:0"> ...</span>California!<br />

Once again I was amazed at how easy it was to fall right back into life there. The feeling of the sunshine on our faces was a refreshing welcome, as was the warm hug of a long time friend! We have been away from our U.S. "Home" for four years now, but we are still welcomed as if we have never left.<br />
<br />
The days flew by as the boys fished, body boarded, soaked up the sun and spent many sleepovers catching up on lost time. My days were filled with running kids around and enjoying my old stomping grounds, but I most looked forward to the evenings laughing and reminiscing with my friends. <br />
<br />
As I boarded the plane back to Germany, I began to tear up a bit<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="988824a0672fe9ac978c41b00363c55328f930c5" grtype="null" id="GRmark_988824a0672fe9ac978c41b00363c55328f930c5_...:0">...</span>It was hard to leave my friends, the sun and the ease in which I functioned while home, but there was a part of me ready to get back to my "other home"<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="988824a0672fe9ac978c41b00363c55328f930c5" grtype="null" id="GRmark_988824a0672fe9ac978c41b00363c55328f930c5_...:1">...</span>I was blooming there as well.<br />

After 3 years in Germany, I have to say that I am starting to really consider it "home"and would definitely find it hard to leave. <br />
<br />
While reading the paper this morning I stumbled upon the article <a href="http://www.thelocal.de/20140611/top-ten-things-you-would-miss-if-you-left-germany-local-list">The top ten things you would miss If you left Germany.</a> I had to giggle a bit..."the food?" Not so much, but I have to agree with the "coffee culture" and the "green". I would also miss riding my bike, seeing the animals grazing in the fields nearby and especially the thought of knowing that as an Expat, there are others in the same boat as me!<br />
<br />
If you are leaving Germany, or any other country or town for that matter, what will you miss most when you go? Is it the food, the weather or the culture that you have been so lucky to experience?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15955193285643481167noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2033846432259966725.post-6425357345407487552014-04-29T03:56:00.000-07:002014-04-29T04:50:06.419-07:00The English Countryside...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yes, this was the cold, white North and I was experiencing it in jeans, okay and some really great long underwear, but nothing to break that wind. I was a bit of a wimp on this one. After I got my pictures, I ran inside, warmed up with a coffee and did some shopping<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="f224da2146771cee3aceb6988ac46932db4ccb63" grtype="null" id="GRmark_f224da2146771cee3aceb6988ac46932db4ccb63_...:0">...</span>isn't that what one does at the North Cape?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once back on the boat and showered for dinner, I walked through the lounge to head back <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="d6264aedb631de85db610a7a556cd5818604e771" grtype="null" id="GRmark_d6264aedb631de85db610a7a556cd5818604e771_dinner I:0">to the deck</span>..."please be there, please be there!" I repeated over and over. As I was walking, I saw the most amazing photograph of the Northern Lights on a man's computer. As I looked closer, I realized that he was editing the photo<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="ba692b88fe0373407302ed73d94501dfe974842d" grtype="null" id="GRmark_22a17364288d3ae0721f0fa038e25016b05e6987_...:1">...</span>he had taken the photo! How, and where did he see them? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Where did you get that?'' I asked, like he had stolen something of mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Oh, I took them as we were leaving the port a few minutes ago. I'm sure that if you hurry, they will still be there." He replied, ever so helpful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Thanks! " I said as excitement overtook me. The photo that he had taken was amazing. Dancing greens and pinks over a beautiful port village. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Off I ran to get my coat and camera and tell the group to hurry, that <i>they </i>were making <i>their </i>appearance...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By now, the Barents Sea had begun to get a bit rough and walking on the deck proved to be difficult. I didn't care. Waves could wash over the damn deck and sweep me into the cold, icy ocean<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="7bd4567fc02bbf788fda84ab6ee7dc5ab511d40e" grtype="null" id="GRmark_7bd4567fc02bbf788fda84ab6ee7dc5ab511d40e_...:0">...</span>I was getting a picture of the Northern Lights!

I was really beginning to think that I had paid to come on this excursion to be tortured! Then, all of the sudden I saw a bit of orange on the horizon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Sorry Mom," my oldest said. "That's the light from a village."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But it wasn't, and as I looked even higher in the sky, I saw dancing green clouds swirling above! By now the whole gang was watching the show. I have to say, it was incredibly difficult to get a photo. We were on a very rocky ship, I only had a small tripod and someone literally had to hold on to me to steady me, but I saw them! I saw the elusive Northern Lights!</div>

I have to admit that they were amazing and I was so frantic to get the "perfect picture" of them, that I almost forgot to just enjoy the moment of seeing them. They literally danced in the sky and for a few moments they were bright and other moments very light, but as you watched them, you realized just how small you are in this world of ours.</div>

Well, not all of us played with them; the dads and the kids played. The moms organized suitcases and explored the town. Organized the suitcases you ask? Yes, we were living out of suitcases and getting ready to live in very small quarters. It was important that we had long underwear, gloves, hats and fleeces, all dry and ready to go when needed. Okay, maybe organizing the suitcases was an excuse for us to "re-group" before the really cold, sleepless portion of our trip began.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we "re-grouped" the other half of our group had an amazing day getting to know the reindeer of Norway. <a href="http://www.tromso-friluftsenter.no/eng/winter.htm" target="_blank">Tromso Friluftsenter</a> took the group <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="38cd071b7dbed8156514eec3f07d1708a0a70bd9" grtype="null" id="GRmark_38cd071b7dbed8156514eec3f07d1708a0a70bd9_on:0">on</span> a wonderful reindeer sleigh ride near the Norwegian Fjords. </div>

They learned about the reindeer, how they have webbed feet so that they can swim, and the Sami people of Norway. After a peaceful ride, they enjoyed a meal in a Sami tent and played near the Fjords. </div>

Once they were back it was time for the portion of our adventure that I had been the most hesitant about. The cruise! We wheeled our suitcases towards the port, all very curious as to what the <a href="http://www.norwegiancoastalcruises.com/" target="_blank">Hurtigruten</a> had in store for us. </div>

I personally was convinced that this ship would take me directly to the Northern Lights as thus far they had eluded us. Boarding was an easy, organized process and we were given our cabins. As I glanced at the 2 packets that I held in my hand, I noticed that my husband and I were on the 5th floor, while the two younger expats were on the 2nd. <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="0f072be20d1b73da030d75a216699ca7b900cef4" grtype="null" id="GRmark_0f072be20d1b73da030d75a216699ca7b900cef4_Ohhhh:0">Ohhhh</span>, this was so not going to work. Anyone who knows my youngest expat knows that he has NO FEAR. He will climb the tallest of play structures, and then jump off, resulting in a broken arm. He will run around a wet swimming pool deck, slip and fall and bite THROUGH his tongue<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="aa9803bcdbd7f4db9be41cd81838957d74674540" grtype="null" id="GRmark_aa9803bcdbd7f4db9be41cd81838957d74674540_...:0">...</span>he is fearless and I had fears of him playing the "king of the world" roll made famous by Leonardo Dicaprio and falling into the cold, frozen Fjord, and us being non the wiser. So, back up to the reception desk, I went...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Hi, we need two cabins next to each other please." I stated as I handed her my envelopes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Oh, I'm sorry, we don't have two cabins next to each other." She responded, completely unaware of just how serious I was.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"No, really<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="f5a970b89905e0e33cd88c97fe981ef2f391bab6" grtype="null" id="GRmark_f5a970b89905e0e33cd88c97fe981ef2f391bab6_...:0">...</span>this is NON-NEGOTIABLE." I stated firmly. Then I went on to explain the antics that my youngest was capable of and that it probably wouldn't be very good when they had to turn the boat around at 2AM, because the child playing "Jack" from the movie Titanic had fallen overboard!</div>

"No problem, here are two rooms next to one another!" She said as she realized that I was probably right. By the way, thank you to the staff of the <a href="http://www.norwegiancoastalcruises.com/" target="_blank">Hurtigruten</a> for being so understanding and accommodating. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The first night on the ship was fun and easy. As the kids explored the ship, I continually went outside to see if the Northern Lights were visible. Nothing yet and I must say, I was beginning to get a bit disappointed! So after an amazing dinner of Arctic Char and wine out of a soda can we decided to turn in for the night. I was amazingly surprised at how calm the boat was. No seasickness for me! But, before I turned in, I had to give it one more shot; I went outside! It was cold, cold and windy and as I stared at the overcast sky, and it began to snow, I realize that I would have to continue my search for the Northern Lights<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="089ac1383e0bae132909fe4bc22aaf6ce8b3556f" grtype="null" id="GRmark_089ac1383e0bae132909fe4bc22aaf6ce8b3556f_...:0">...</span>oh and surprise, surprise I did run into the youngest expat in the hallway!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When we moved to Europe, we made our "Bucket List" and at the very top of mine was the <a href="http://itsabouttakingthejourney.blogspot.de/2012/08/whats-on-your-bucket-list.html" target="_blank">Northern Lights</a>! The Northern Lights were something I had always wanted to see. For as long as I could remember I had the goal of getting an amazing photograph of this spectacular phenomenon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We slowly checked off trips on this list we had made, and finally last fall we began talking about the one on top<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="03aef257876675d3d4590b126a8646b06d1e235f" grtype="null" id="GRmark_03aef257876675d3d4590b126a8646b06d1e235f_...:0">...</span>Chasing the Northern Lights. I had a few friends who had gone on this expedition and raved about it. It is cold, they said, and not relaxing, but it is the trip of a lifetime, one you <i>have </i>to take while living in Europe. That was it; someone said that we <i>have </i>to take it, we <i>have </i>to take it! So, I started planning and talking to everyone that I could about this amazing trip. During one such conversation, a friend of mine said "Oh, we'll go with you!" Was she serious? I thought that I was the only one foolish enough to drag my family to the Arctic Circle in February! Nope, she was serious and so the excitement of this trip gained momentum. The kids would have friends to enjoy their trip with, and the adults could commiserate on the fact that we were indeed crazy, frozen and at the end of it<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="fb57960edfccb42826ecd10af143e386b80077b5" grtype="null" id="GRmark_fb57960edfccb42826ecd10af143e386b80077b5_...:0">...</span>broke!</div>

We counted down the days until our February 14th departure and finally 8 loud, crazy American's and one hesitant Brit boarded the flight to the cold, white North.</div>

We arrived in Oslo and checked into our hotel. We proceeded to order pizza for the kids and as they played games in the lobby, we had a civilized dinner in the hotel restaurant. The next morning we woke to an amazing winter wonderland. The light in Oslo was "low" as there are only 5 hours of daylight at this time of year, and the sun never seems to get very high in the sky. That did nothing to dampen the spirit of the kids. Hours were spent playing in the snow<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="43d8bcbe9188a3d87ce9809044ed252995a2d485" grtype="null" id="GRmark_43d8bcbe9188a3d87ce9809044ed252995a2d485_...:0">...</span>snowball fights, snowmen and a few snow angels were <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="43d8bcbe9188a3d87ce9809044ed252995a2d485" grtype="null" id="GRmark_43d8bcbe9188a3d87ce9809044ed252995a2d485_had:1">had</span> on this first day of our adventure.</div>

The next day we boarded our flight to Tromso, Norway. Tromso is considered the "Capital of the Arctic" and is actually located on an island 190 miles inside of the Arctic Circle. It is a wonderful little city full of old wooden houses and a beautiful port. This small town would turn out to have some of our favorite activities <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="164dcb4d69f7e5a2431b9b0aab9aae2dc4ca1911" grtype="null" id="GRmark_0a2118005ce8676df41d0633bfa46ae6d5d04d4d_on:1">on</span> our adventure!<br />

I am very, very afraid of flying. I must admit that over the years it has got a bit better, but there were many flights that I have taken in which I was <i>heavily </i>sedated. Living in Europe, I have had to "put my big girl panties on" and get on airplanes... Often! Flights to see the things that we are living here to see, and flights to go home. I also live very near to the airport, and I must say that watching the numerous flights take off and land every day has helped me to see that the odds are actually in my favor.<br />
<br />
In the horrible event that there is an airplane crash, I am constantly trying to rationalize it in my head. When there is a bump from turbulence, I tell myself over and over that turbulence cannot take down a plane. Whatever the situation, I desperately try to talk myself through it. But how does one rationalize the absolute disappearance of one of the largest airplanes that flies in the air? How do the families not wonder every minute if their loved one is out there<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="8ae205885e853496068a4ae300b1148d05475992" grtype="null" id="GRmark_cab105471c3a867cea94e6015dcfb729eee8241f_...:1">...</span>somewhere?

My husband and I just spent an amazing weekend in Venice, Italy! It was our seventeenth wedding anniversary. A friend said that she would take the kids and Venice is a sixty minute flight, so why not?<br />
<br />
We haven't had a weekend away in a year and it was much needed.<br />
<br />
After our incredibly quick flight we arrived at our hotel. The hotel was right on the grand canal and was well, let's say "charming", in an antique sort of way!<br />
<br />
One of our favorite things to do when we travel is to play "spot the<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="78da08a115e1a5e63f4a42fbb0a87d5fdb701d38" grtype="null" id="GRmark_78da08a115e1a5e63f4a42fbb0a87d5fdb701d38_...:0">...</span>American, Brit or... You fill in the <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="5310d15cfb02ade33e45ff5c28254f812f743a55" grtype="null" id="GRmark_e0f658b272684713254e818a8b0290095dc3fbbb_nationality:1">nationality</span>." sometimes this game is really difficult, other times not so much.<br />
<br />
Venice is full of tourists unloaded from cruise ships and it's not hard at all to spot them. Most have large cameras, me included, most were waiting to get a gondola, me included, and we even got the occasional black socked, sandal wearing tourist<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="6f2d7f25a2440d8d9b3addaf2cc22e1995fbf03e" grtype="null" id="GRmark_6f2d7f25a2440d8d9b3addaf2cc22e1995fbf03e_...:0">...</span>I can't be included in this stereotype...<br />
<br />
The tourist that shocked us the most came on our final day in Venice. We had successfully eaten and drank our way through this amazing city, we had seen the sights, taken our gondola ride and experienced all that Venice had to offer a couple in love. Our final morning we were sitting at a quiet breakfast in our hotel when I had to break my husbands rule of "no talking to strangers" and asked the couple next to us where they were from. After telling me, and I won't say it here as to not offend anyone from that city, she asked me how I liked Venice.<br />
<br />
"I love it, " I told her, "I love the charm, the architecture, the people, the food<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="42f83f3326fcb1691077aa7112c7240d8e807225" grtype="null" id="GRmark_42f83f3326fcb1691077aa7112c7240d8e807225_...:0">...</span>I love all of it!"<br />
<br />
"Don't you think it could use a coat of paint? Where we come from they have a covenant, and they would have had to paint the buildings by now."<br />
<br />
Okay, at this point I was about to break into laughter, and I almost had to pick my husband's jaw off of the table<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="b0456280c72e4c1d59b3a9726889b69cab87651e" grtype="null" id="GRmark_23f819337c86a4c4c5a59804f564093896096b04_...:3">...</span>did she really just say that?<br />
<br />
Yea, it is over 700 years old and I think that it's fallen at least a foot into the ocean over the past 40 years, but come to think about it, it really could use a good power washing<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="601f5ee3ecdbc4ba1abe1d88126347c3f39d4142" grtype="null" id="GRmark_3990b64a88d45910c663598037121356f5bba236_...:3">...</span><span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="601f5ee3ecdbc4ba1abe1d88126347c3f39d4142" grtype="null" id="GRmark_3990b64a88d45910c663598037121356f5bba236_really:4">really</span> lady, go back to your covenant controlled neighborhood and let me enjoy Venice!<br />

When I first started <a href="http://itsabouttakingthejourney.blogspot.de/2011/11/honeymoon-is-over.html" target="_blank">my blog</a> back in November, 2011, I never did a formal introduction so those of you who have followed for a bit may learn a little about me as well.<br />
<br />
I have been doing this whole "expat" thing for only 2.5 years, and oh what fun we have managed to pack into those years. We moved to Dusseldorf, Germany from the U.S. <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="2c19d2a4d54e944d24df1d9c52c4c7bd13600e44" grtype="null" id="GRmark_2c19d2a4d54e944d24df1d9c52c4c7bd13600e44_for:0">for</span> my husband's job.

We married in 1995-yep, I'm old-and the craziness started soon after. We moved to Connecticut, Indianapolis, Orange County, CA, Denver and then on to Germany. I have to say that my "home" will always be in Orange County<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="a6645943e21fcb6e975ac733d225be995a33eafe" grtype="null" id="GRmark_a6645943e21fcb6e975ac733d225be995a33eafe_...:0">...</span>sorry to my family, but it has amazing memories since my boys grew up there!<br />

We have two wonderful boys who I call the "teenage expats". They are amazingly versatile and tolerant of all of our moving and although I have doubted it occasionally, I am sure that moving them around the world, will not be the cause of them <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="fcf101548c9a5945388330a15512cef9545a22aa" grtype="null" id="GRmark_fcf101548c9a5945388330a15512cef9545a22aa_being:0">being</span> in counselling when they are older!<br />

Yes, we really did ship the frog!!<br />
<br />
During our time in Europe, we have been fortunate enough to travel quite a bit. There are so many amazing places to visit. One of the our family favorites is <a href="http://itsabouttakingthejourney.blogspot.de/2013/04/edinburgh-boring-i-think-not.html" target="_blank">Scotland</a> and one of our least favorites was <a href="http://itsabouttakingthejourney.blogspot.de/2012/12/you-lose-some.html" target="_blank">Barcelona</a>, not because of the city, <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="20728f11b8620d6fa95a016f0625874f0662e65b" grtype="null" id="GRmark_20728f11b8620d6fa95a016f0625874f0662e65b_more:0">more</span> because of the circumstances!<br />
<br />
My passions are photography, travel, my family, our dog and the ocean. On this journey, I will tell you all about our lives, as well as our adventures and it's not always pretty. <br />
<br />
So, sit back, grab a coffee, a wine or perhaps my favorite, a vodka and enjoy, because after all<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="815d2e70baa27af7537ec676302ac3789cd54d71" grtype="null" id="GRmark_815d2e70baa27af7537ec676302ac3789cd54d71_...:0">...</span>It's About the Journey!<br />

<span class="GingerNoCheckStart"></span>Like everyone, when the new year hits I attempt to get organized, and this year is no exception. Having a smart phone can be a big help with this. Apps can be a travelers best friend. There are tons of apps out there; tour guide apps, hotel apps, apps that hail a cab for you<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="a3163c426cc2f414c78dc07d0cee972aab23b7d6" grtype="null" id="GRmark_6a23d4c62370f85b3632572b7269084fdefe4d85_...:1">...</span>you name it and there's an app for it! Below, in no particular order, I have listed my "Top 10" favorite travel apps. <br />

Okay, how I wish that I would have thought of creating this before the geniuses at <a href="https://www.tripit.com/learnMore" target="_blank">Tripit</a> did! One of my BIGGEST complaints about taking a trip, is the hours that I spend organizing it! I have an itinerary and schedules on my computer and I can't tell you <i>how </i>many times that they have accidentally been deleted. Well, <a href="https://www.tripit.com/learnMore" target="_blank">Tripit</a> will organize all of your travel plans in one place, all that you have to do is forward all confirmations to them and snap, just like that it's done for you! Tripit is FREE, however the pumped up version Tripit Pro does have a yearly subscription fee. Try it out and see how easy your travel organization can be!<br />

This app has all of the amazing benefits of <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/apps" target="_blank">Tripadvisor</a>, but it's accessible on the go via your smart phone! There are hotel reviews, restaurant recommendations and even a "Best of 2014" list to keep you up to date on top travel trends. With over "100 million candid reviews" and customer photos, you can't go wrong with this app.<br />

This app helped me guide my family around Rome at our own pace and having all of the info on my phone made it easier than lugging around the guidebook! You can also document your trip in Cityguides journal, which lets you capture your photos and easily share them with your friends via Facebook. </div>

Yep, here's another one that I wish I had created. I pack in stages, not all at once. Often times items are in the laundry so I write notes to remind myself to pack them when they are dry. I usually have several sticky notes for each family member<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="e2a9b4299ed48b0a86f56cec5356996fd24d0955" grtype="null" id="GRmark_e2a9b4299ed48b0a86f56cec5356996fd24d0955_...:0">...</span>not productive at all! Well, this app has solved all of my problems! You can have lists for everyone, lists for every upcoming trip and Packing Pro even suggests items that you may need to bring with you! It also has a "to do" list for before your trip and an "essentials" area for the important items that you can't leave home without. Thanks to <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/packing-pro/id312266675?mt=8" target="_blank">Packing Pro</a>, I have saved my sanity as well as a lot of trees!<br />

I have to admit it, before I moved to Europe, I was a bit of a public transportation snob. I didn't do busses and only did the subway if I had to. Well, I soon threw that attitude out the window. Public transportation is the way to go if you are traveling. It's a much cheaper option to taxis and I have learned that it is very safe in most cities. <a href="https://www.hopstop.com/?action=mobile_iphone" target="_blank">HopStop</a> gives you the best subway, walking or biking route to get to your location, figures transit times and will even call a local taxi for you. This has been a life saver for many on many occasions. Try it for yourself and see what I mean!<br />

I use this app on a daily basis, sometimes numerous times a day. It is so easy to pull out your phone and quickly convert any currency. <a href="http://www.xe.com/apps/iphone/" target="_blank">Currency XE</a> stores the latest updated currency rates so it even works offline. With over 30,000 currency rates available, it is no wonder this is the most downloaded foreign exchange app.</div>

Another app that I use on a DAILY basis is <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-translate/id414706506?mt=8" target="_blank">Google Translate</a>. This has helped me more times than I can count. You can type in what you are trying to translate, or use the speaker feature to speak into your phone. This free app translates more than 70 languages and can help you with anything from ordering a glass of wine, to translate your hotel bill. <br />

With the <a href="http://www.flighttrackerrealtime.com/" target="_blank">Flight Tracker</a> app you can watch planes move in real time, search for individual flight times and status and set custom alerts. This app makes it easy to know if your flight has been delayed or the gate has changed with its feature that actually turns your screen into an arrivals board. Picking someone up from the airport has never been so easy, simply click on their flight and there is all the arrival info you will need. Missing your flight will be a thing of the past if you download this app!<br />

There have been a few times when I was traveling, that for a fleeting moment I have that "what if" feeling. Where would I go if? What would I do if we needed help? Well, with <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattneri.travel_safe_lite" target="_blank">TravelSafe</a> you have emergency service numbers for any country that you could ever imagine visiting. This app has police, fire and emergency numbers as well as who to call if you have a passport issue. Travel Safe is so user friendly. I know that I feel better having all of this information at my fingertips. Now, let's hope that it is never used.<br />

So, I have shown you a few of the apps that I will be using on my journey this year. What are a few of your favorites?<br />

Okay, contemplating mixed with a little bitching, mixed with A LOT of complaining and the occasional tantrum. Makes for not so nice blogging! I feel that I'm having my own version of the dreaded "mid-life crisis"<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="0e058c52793afe6e49d0166c4656614bc4d23d99" grtype="null" id="GRmark_0e058c52793afe6e49d0166c4656614bc4d23d99_...:0">...</span>even though I am <i><span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="0e058c52793afe6e49d0166c4656614bc4d23d99" grtype="null" id="GRmark_0e058c52793afe6e49d0166c4656614bc4d23d99_sooooo:1">sooooo</span></i> not mid-life! <br />

<br />
I have been bitching<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="97e383f7b7bbcf00344145addb24e9d170bc4664" grtype="null" id="GRmark_97e383f7b7bbcf00344145addb24e9d170bc4664_...:0">...</span>bitching about the fact that I can't work in Germany, that I really can NOT do another coffee morning-P<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="97e383f7b7bbcf00344145addb24e9d170bc4664" grtype="null" id="GRmark_97e383f7b7bbcf00344145addb24e9d170bc4664_.:1">.</span>S. Please still invite me to coffee, I have a few more left in me-and bitching about the fact that I want to put roots down in a place where I am not saying good-bye to my friends every six months. <br />
<br />
The complaining pretty much echoes the bitching, although apparently my husband tells me that I have been complaining if someone's shoes squeak too loudly on the tile, if someone chews their raw veggies too loudly or even if someone breaths too heavily. <br />
<br />
We won't discuss the tantrum as I'm sure that it wasn't pretty and may have involved "ugly crying". <br />

"why subject my readers to my crap?" Be glad I spared you! However, yesterday I was at a party and my friend KC-see, I told you I'd mention you-asked me why I hadn't been blogging? I explained it to her and she gave me the motivation I had been looking for! "Please, blog! I love to read your blog, it's REAL, and people need to see the real side of Expat life as well!" We then went on to discuss how so many people think that the life of a "trailing spouse" is so glamourous! Don't get me wrong it is, but once again, I mention that the day to day crap is boring. You really lose all sense of who you are as a person. You are the expat's wife, the expat kids' mom, but <i>you</i> are put to the side. It is a role that I have willingly agreed to, but that doesn't mean that I have always loved it or will never complain about it. So, thanks to a little push from KC, I am back!

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">I absolutely love to travel and that is one of the reasons that when my husband brought up moving to Germany to become an expat, I didn't think twice...imagine the travel we would be able to do! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Growing up, I was the one always wondering what else was out there??? What new adventures were waiting to be discovered. When I was twenty, I moved to Puerto Rico to experience a bit of the Latin lifestyle. When I was twenty five and married, I moved 1800 miles across the country, and never thought twice about it! </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">After 6 moves and being blessed with the ability to see many different cultures and countries I am surrounded by items that I have picked up along the way. I can look around my house, and instantly be "taken back" to a special time in my life. Often the special souvenirs cost next to nothing...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">When I first moved to Europe I decided that I would collect "oldish" or antique paintings or pictures of the country or city that I was visiting. Soon I realized that I didn't really have the wall space to do this, however a few made it up. One of my favorites, a painting I picked up from a street vendor in <a href="http://itsabouttakingthejourney.blogspot.de/2012/01/november-2011.html" target="_blank">Bruges, Belgium</a>, reminds me of a wonderful weekend that my mom and I enjoyed there. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">There are many places that I have searched and searched for that perfect "something" to take home with me, but could never quite find. For those locations, I have photographs and memories. But I must say that when I settle in at the end of the day, it is comforting to be surrounded by the mementos that have helped create my story.</span><br />

<span class="GingerNoCheckStart"></span>I have made it to my Junior year! Yep, I am starting year three of my expat life. Much like school, my freshman year was spent "learning the ropes" finding my way. <a href="http://itsabouttakingthejourney.blogspot.de/2012/11/my-sophomore-year.html" target="_blank">Sophomore year</a> was spent in a bit more comfort than year one. I walked the "halls" with a little more confidence, my chest puffed up a bit more than the year before, but there was still a bit to learn. Now I am in year three and like my high school years, I am curious to know what, if anything is next? When does this wonderful adventure end...or does it? For my Junior year, I will try to help guide the freshman as they enter the "School of Expat", give them a bit of help, not "hazing" like I received in High School. I will try to enjoy my days at the "School of Expat", and try my hardest to not look too far into the future, for don't they say that "these are the best years of your life"?<br />

It is a series of snorkeling "holes' made <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="3267ceb2524609e9ff8d1a0c1cbe5bac18d30afe" grtype="null" id="GRmark_3267ceb2524609e9ff8d1a0c1cbe5bac18d30afe_in:0">i<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="3267ceb2524609e9ff8d1a0c1cbe5bac18d30afe" grtype="null" id="GRmark_3267ceb2524609e9ff8d1a0c1cbe5bac18d30afe_in:0">n</span></span><span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="3267ceb2524609e9ff8d1a0c1cbe5bac18d30afe" grtype="null" id="GRmark_3267ceb2524609e9ff8d1a0c1cbe5bac18d30afe_in:0"></span><span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="3267ceb2524609e9ff8d1a0c1cbe5bac18d30afe" grtype="null" id="GRmark_3267ceb2524609e9ff8d1a0c1cbe5bac18d30afe_in:0"></span> the lava. It's a long hike down, but once you arrive, the peaceful blue water makes it all worth while. Many times there are sea turtles and you can safely snorkel in these amazingly warm pools without risk of sharks, eels or other scary sea creatures. The main danger at "Queen's Bath" is the tide. You can easily be swept out to sea if there is a high tide or strong wave<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="697c59bc62a019f556e91a396ec7c40da61b83e3" grtype="null" id="GRmark_697c59bc62a019f556e91a396ec7c40da61b83e3_…:0">…</span>we are always AWARE when we go, and never do anything too risky! </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So set the scene in your mind, a gorgeous <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="e8a545c292a4ca3fc245bda974942f602ff49b12" grtype="null" id="GRmark_e8a545c292a4ca3fc245bda974942f602ff49b12_Hawaiin:0">Hawaiian</span> day, brilliant blue water, black lava stones, my kids snorkeling peacefully in a pool with a few other people<span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="e8a545c292a4ca3fc245bda974942f602ff49b12" grtype="null" id="GRmark_e8a545c292a4ca3fc245bda974942f602ff49b12_…:1">…</span>then in the background we hear chaos. What had to be no less than 15 people come into view and it all began…</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Noteworthy-Light; font-size: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Go on Blakey, you can do it!! Dive in, it can't be that shallow!" Dumb Ass Dad yells.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Really Dad, you think it's safe?" Blakey responds.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Well, we'll know soon enough won't we?" Dumb Dad yells back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Seriously</b>, he wasn't really going to jump into the shallow pool of water that we were all snorkeling in. He wouldn't be so stupid. Oh, how wrong I was...Good ole' Blakey took the jump. Not only did he jump, but then they <i>all </i>began jumping, one after the other, like those dumb little Lemmings that follow each other off of the cliffs. They were risking life and limb and stirring up the snorkeling water, ruining the experience for everyone else. <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="5d23c799ab65ea0c1e5d8f82f6b3e40d310a43a7" grtype="null" id="GRmark_5d23c799ab65ea0c1e5d8f82f6b3e40d310a43a7_So...we:0">So...we</span> all stopped snorkeling and watched the fools.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"What these idiots don't realize, is that it's going to have to be us that drags their bodies up the cliff when they crack their head open." Another logical observer commented. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And how right he was...My experience, along with many other vacationers experience had now become about watching these jerks jump off of the rocks, and also having to explain to my ten year old why under <b>NO </b>circumstances was he following the <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="9dc6ea8ac9f0905dc273ec5f51e2fba587c6199e" grtype="null" id="GRmark_9dc6ea8ac9f0905dc273ec5f51e2fba587c6199e_Limmings:0">Lemmings</span> off of the cliff!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And here is where I had to bite my tongue, for my youngest asked to jump off of the rocks just loud enough for Blakey and Dumb Ass Dad to hear him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"No Oliver, it isn't safe and it disrupts the others trying to enjoy the pools!" I responded to my little expat~maybe just loud enough to be heard by others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Oh that's right, don't let him be a kid!"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Did he really just say that to me? Seriously? Bite your tongue, bite your tongue...and bite my tongue I did for what was I teaching my kids if I responded to Dumb Ass Dad? What I did do, is secretly <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="1cf2acd2a462acf46064ab27421a0e6a0c8d8d01" grtype="null" id="GRmark_1cf2acd2a462acf46064ab27421a0e6a0c8d8d01_wish:0">wish</span> that one of the Lemmings would really stub their toe in the jump! You know, not the break your foot <span class="GRcorrect" grphrase="c174652ad1a7569495cd379ecdc45cb5bf74b576" grtype="null" id="GRmark_c174652ad1a7569495cd379ecdc45cb5bf74b576_kinda:0">kinda</span> stub, just stub it enough to give them a good wake up call! I am a bit bummed to report that they didn't and after a bit they left to go disrupt some other poor, unsuspecting tourists. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But I learned something from Dumb Ass Dad and Blakey that day...as we travel we must all remember that we are sharing peoples space, and we aren't all Lemmings! When you travel please be aware of your surroundings and until your next trip, enjoy the photos of Queens Bath...in some peace and quiet.</span><br />

Sorry there was no question yesterday, you see I was a bit wrapped up...well I wasn't wrapped up, my youngest expat was! We tend to be a little "fragile" here in our house; a broken foot, a broken arm, 2 broken fingers and yesterday a broken toe! Well, it actually ends up not being broken, just badly bruised. Last night I spent a good portion of my evening in the Diakonie~the hospital~in Germany and I was so very proud of myself, for I spoke German and even "medical" German! So, this brings me to today's question;<br />
<br />
What have you accomplished in your host country that you are proud of?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15955193285643481167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2033846432259966725.post-84589284721622743122013-08-21T05:21:00.001-07:002013-08-21T05:21:31.723-07:00Oh I LOVE that...<br />

Okay, so this question thing is kind of fun! Let's try it for the whole week, shall we?<br />
<br />
It's a gorgeous, sunny day here in Dusseldorf and everywhere you look you see flowers! That has to be one of my favorite things about living in Germany...the abundance of amazing floral arrangements, and they are affordable. It doesn't matter what time of year it is you can always find gorgeous fresh flowers to help brighten your day!<br />
<br />
So, this brings me to the question for today is...<br />
<br />
What is one thing that you LOVE about your host country, or if you aren't an expat; the town you live in?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15955193285643481167noreply@blogger.com7
