Well, I made it to Hamburg Germany yesterday finally after 3 days of travel and almost no sleep. It was a hell-ish trip involving missed flights (thank you so much United /sarcasm) and 3 different airlines. The flight was a total disaster up until the end of the trip. I would go into details but no one wants to hear me complain and I don't feel like writing a book about it which is what it would take. Let's just say I will never fly United again. With the help from Lufthansa and it's associates I finally made it in one piece and with all of my luggage as well. Keep in mind that I booked my flight with SAS (Scandinavian Air Service) and ended up on United. Oddly I never actually flew with SAS actually. Well, that's enough about the rough trip.



I am at my dad's apartment in Hamburg and in one piece. I slept for about 4 hours yesterday and then last night for almost 10. I'm glad to have a soft bed to sleep on and the time to sleep again. I'm trying to get over the 7 hour time difference from Central Time in Texas. I already miss my friends and it is very strange not to have a job. Right now my dad's on the phone trying to see about getting DSL here for internet which is much needed for my job / house hunt in London. I'm sitting in the living room thinking about all of the things I have to get used to not having now and all of the differences. I think I'll make it but it's going to take some time.



I finished the PC game BioShock before I left the states and I loved it. It isn't a perfect game but it gets amazingly close. If you haven't played it I highly recommend it and if you hadn't heard of it go to Game Spot and search for it.

I'm off for now. To my friends and family in the states. I miss you all.

P.S. Keep in mind I'm 7 hours ahead here but the time on the blog will continue to be Central Standard Time in the U.S. if I can help it.
