Man, I should have done this a month ago. Ah, regardless, I will try to fill you in on what's taken place in the last month and try to be a little better from now on. On April 24th 2007 I boarded a plane at Pearson International airport in Toronto and flew to Europe. The flight was about 7 hours or so long and I left in the evening and arrived in Amsterdam's airport the next morning (6 hours forward ) . Sleeping was difficult on the plane and possibly would have been better if I had had the window seat. As it was I had the centre. To my left was a man originally from Pakistan and to my right a lady originally from Nigeria. ( both don't live in their old countries anymore) Onboard the service was teriffic from the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines! To my own discredit I clumsily tipped part of my coffee over causing some soak into my jeans! Garrr... lol. When I was in the airport before my connect to Berlin I hit the washroom and worked away trying to get rid of the coffee stain. While It wasn't an entirely successful venture the result was at least better than before. Boarding the plane to Berlin I actually carried my guitar onboard with me annnd my backpack! They just found a spot for my guitar and I got it back on my way out. Now I know for any future travel that you don't have to pull teeth to get an instrument safely through air travel. Arriving before 12 pm in Berlin I wasn't asked any questions about what I was planning on doing in Germany...
There was no trouble finding my pickup and off we went... Before too long we we were whizzing along away from Berlin on the highway heading for the Bundesland (state or provence) of Mecklinburg-Vorpommern!
