June seems to be a good month for visits from Germany.
Last year, a good friend of mine came to LA to see me and J for a couple of hours before heading to a conference that he attended through his German company in Anaheim.
A few days later, my parents and cousin arrived for a 3-week vacation.
This year, my best friend from home will be in San Francisco for a weekend.
Only one more week!
She works for LH and finally (!) got a flight to SF [as you can imagine, that is quite the popular destination among flight attendands. It can be requested, but is granted according to seniority. My friend has been with LH for a couple of years, but apparently not long enough to request and easily get the flights to popular destinations].
She got lucky this time.
And also, her timing couldn’t have been better.
She’ll arrive on Friday and fly back on Sunday – perfect for us to spend the weekend together. And the best part is: She gets paid for visiting and spending time with me – how awesome is that?! :)
I can’t even remotely begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to spending some “girl time” with her. It’s been so long overdue!!
Wohoo!

Back in the day, when Hubby was the #1 First Officer on the A-300 Air Bus, we had such great trips, including the trip that gave us a 6 month temporary assignment in Berlin! After a year of traveling to the best places he upgraded to Captain, but the seniority was lower and the trips not so good. Oh well….

June 6, 2008 at 10:31 amthats great, enjoy your time with her. and in regards to your last post, i have NEVER spoken english with a german when there were no english speakers around. thats just ridiculous, i dont know why people do that. i have a german coworker who talks to me in english when we are alone and its retarded. i asked her why she does it and she claims it is easier. bullshit. i just keep talking to her in german.
