  • Dave Grohl and Goodbyes

    Today is the last day of my 12-year career at Garmin.  Soon every day will feel like a Saturday but today is bittersweet.  Yesterday I dropped my dad off at the airport.  This morning my brother left before dawn with my sweet Princess Mia Mole Slayer.  Today I say goodbye to the friends who have made going to work each…

  • Neuschwanstein & Linderhof Castle tours – too beautiful to be real!

    Tuesday morning we felt that our heads had just touched the pillows before the alarm went off for our early morning meet up with Gray Line tours.  We picked up a butter croissant and cappuccino in the central station.  The public transport here is extremely efficient, clean, convenient, and pretty easy to figure out as well as many of the…
