Taxes done.
Packing, mostly done. We're planning to stay up late tonight to help with sleeping right away on the plane to London. When we board (8p) it will be 4a in Munich ... sooner we can rotate the schedule the better.
Final packing has yet to occur. Need to whittle down the small library on Germany to a few books that will have to do the job. The convertible does not promise much carrying space. Backseat will work, but can be like hanging a "good stuff is in here" sign on the window. Mostly we'll be driving and in smaller towns when we've got the extra few bags.
Unlocking the phones is turning out to be a bit tricky. iPhone 3G that have been fully upgraded to the latest/greatest software cannot be unlocked currently. So my main phone is out. Pam's is the older 2G and I failed to ever Ebay my old 2G iPhone so I'm working to get that one setup and unlocked. Nearly there. If it all works, we buy a sim at the airport in München and we'll have Germany cell phone numbers to use for the trip. Much better than international roaming.
German language skills are still rough. I'd put myself solidly in the 3 y.o. range ... maybe. Time in the environment will help as it has on the past couple of trips to Mexico for the Spanish.
At this point, it's just time to get on the plane and go.
The sausages are calling ... the Beer is flowing.
Emmy is about to wake up.
