Babymoon in Mallorca, Spain For better or for worse Ber and I aren’t really the best longterm planners. But some of our best memories have definitely been made from spontaneous planning. Since I’m expecting our first baby, (sure why don’t I just throw that in there nonchalantly like it’s not the biggest life change either…
If France is for lovers but you haven’t got one I recommend a little city in France which is for lovers, but of a different sort. Pretty dang good coffee in Strasbourg, France makes it the perfect place for, you guessed it, coffee lovers! A couple short weeks ago we were in Strasbourg, France for an…
Read Part I and Part II and then this part will make more sense. This is the final installment and a little long, but if you’re still following the story at this point I think you’ll find it worthwhile to read ’til the end. The other guy All was quiet for awhile, maybe even a couple of us dozed…

On August 15th our airline Airberlin filed for bankruptcy. We weren’t worried at first. Not because we had travel insurance or anything smart like that, but because…
