I Made It!

Henrietta, my transfer guide, guiding me safely from airport gate to the van.




On the autobahn, going about 100 mph. Cars were passing us!








Arrival at Munich.

Welcome!

The Beginning

Welcome to the beginning of my Passport Diaries Online Photo Journal. There's nothing like a new beginning at the start of a new year to give you a fresh perspective.

I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I expect to. Feel free to comment, provide tips on your favorite places to visit ( or to pass), etc.

4 days and counting!

Travel Documents Have Arrived!

First Stop, Passau

It's official -- the travel documents have arrived and the first stop is Passau, Germany. The packet is pretty organized.
















It includes my itinerary, a Danube River handbook (pretty cool!), luggage tag, air and cruise vouchers, 2 paper luggage stickers, 1 red Viking sticker all presented in a nice sturdy plastic case.






Putting this baby in my carry-on now! With my passport!

Packing for Europe

Let the Packing Begin

I have decided that packing for Europe in March is not nearly as bad as I figured. It's only 8 days before I embark on my first European trip -- how many shoes do you really need to take anyway?!



In addition to my tennis shoes of course, which I'm using to workout in not wear in town -- I've decided on 2 pair of boots and one pair of flats. I don't think it's a smart idea to take the blue suede stilletos, although they are fabulous and I know my European compadres would love them!

Stay tuned to see how the suitcase turns out. Now, there's a purse issue!
