My departure to Germany is in jeopardy! A German union may be going on strike at midnight tonight. We're not exactly sure what this means for my Air Lufthansa flight on Tuesday. I will keep you posted.
My last week has been utter craziness! Packing was ridiculously hard. There are so many restrictions! As it is, I'm definitely paying overweight baggage dues...and my bags are the maximum dimensions. This kind of sounds pathetic, but all of my bags together weigh more than I do. I am gone for a year though and taking a lot of Canadian gifts, pins, and flags, so that's how I'm justifying it. I've been told that Canadian Flags are HUGE... great gifts to give and receive. Europeans love maple leafs.
I've been saying a lot of farewells to friends this past month and I have a few more to come. The picture below was taken last night with a few good friends of mine. My parents and sister surprised me with this cake. It says Good travels Marita in German.

Auf Wiedersehen (Goodbye)

Hi Marita,
I'm really happy about your new experience in the old continent. Germany is a very nice and beautiful country and it's close to Italy, so when you want to came here in Torino you will be my guest.
Enjoy yourself and WELCOME TO EUROPE!
Ciao.

-I see what you mean about the blazer. Oh, well, it could be worse.
-I hope you have a wonderful time in Germany and I`m so glad that your glasses came in today.
-Random point of interest: Some of the stuff on your blog (which is part of the blog site and not what you`ve written) is in french on the computer I`m using. I find this rather amusing.
-Sorry if this is a rather scattered comment; my organisational abilities are rather lacking.
