DAY 6-Around Munich & the farewell dinner This was the last day of our trip. If I were in Berlin I think I would be sadder to leave, but I just don’t love Munich like I loved Berlin. It is dirtier, less friendly and much less German feeling. It is very international, which means it...
June 21, 2008 I am writing this a day late, as I fly on Lufthansa from Berlin to Munich. We were out late last night and enjoying every last second in Berlin so I am catching up during some downtime. Our flight is one hour long, so just a quick hop. Yesterday we had an...
June 20, 2008, Germany Day 2 The second day in Germany began about 8am local time. We woke up in the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in, got ready and headed to breakfast where we were greeted with a healthy, fresh spread. My favorite part of the whole thing was the ridiculously...

Two years ago, during my corporate life, I earned a really big award. The reward for my work was a week long trip hopping around Germany, all expenses paid. My husband had just started his residency, so my plus one was my BFF. Let me tell you, you learn a lot about a person when...
Back in my former corporate life, I sold birth control for a major pharmaceutical company. It was a wonderful experience and in many ways, it is why I am in the position I am in right now. I learned a lot and even traveled the world. I earned “points” selling Mirena (which is AWESOME, by...
