Well, this is it then. Rehearsal is over. It's time to head to O'Hare for my flight to Frankfurt and Wiesbaden.
I've got my usual pre-trip jitters -- this time complicated by the fact that I'm going to flying solo (both literally and metaphorically, once Glen and Betina leave). But it does have the earmarks of all great adventures: Destination unknown; a canine companion. Is there a more classic adventure than a boy and his dog? Even if the dog is still a puppy and the boy has an awful lot of gray in his hair.
The photo to the upper right is, at least according to Google, the view from Kapellenstrasse (where Glen lives) toward the city of Wiesbaden. Which, at least to my eyes, looks an awful lot like the view west from Brady Street toward Schlitz Park in Milwaukee. So maybe I will feel at home very fast.
But, for now, I've got long ride ahead of me.
Here's looking forward to a wonderful trip -- and a great adventure! And a new, furry friend.
