It's plan A as we leave in just three days for Germany. Scott made a quick call yesterday to wish me a happy Mothers Day and gave me the best present - his presence in Spangdahlem! Didn't have time to find out many details, but he's back and that means we're headed for Spang on Saturday, after arriving in Frankfurt Friday night and picking up the car Saturday morning. (Really too late to start messing with the rental details at this point, plus with jet lag we're better off getting a night's sleep first.)
I wrote "A.2" since we have pretty much decided to make one minor change - we had talked about visiting the spa at Baden-Baden after watching the Rick Steves video where he went. We'd been talking about changing those plans for several reasons, and knowing we're going to see Scott has made that decision easier. We'll now start off for the Black Forest on Monday morning instead of Sunday morning, and get to spend the whole weekend with Scott. He'll be in a training class starting Friday anyway, so his weekday time will be quite limited. We're heading down to the Alps from the Black Forest, and will be gone about a week or so then headed back up Scott's way to spend the remainder of the time with him, as much as his class will allow anyway.
We both have our toiletry bags packed and the plan tonight is to work on the suitcases. Steve hasn't flown since before 9-11 and so the 3-1-1 bag was a new thing for him...thankfully now we'll have access to the commissary at Spang so he can buy bigger sizes of shampoo, shaving cream, etc.
My Tuesday night scout dinner was cancelled so that frees up some badly needed free time to get stuff done. We are done, too, with getting Dad's house ready for the remodeling to begin. So these last few days can be concentrated on getting ready for the trip. Our house is still looking like a storage warehouse, but that will be remedied slowly but surely when we return.
Did I write that it's only three days until we leave? : )
