I Need a Vacation!!
Well, 24 hours after leaving Mick’s place in Munich yesterday morning, I’m finally back in Los Angeles after many delays. The flight home was even worse than the flight to Rome two weeks ago (not for the guy who had the heart attack on the plane though). My last full day in Germany started early on the train from Altenbuch to Munich. Sabine’s 2 husbands (Alan & I), rode with her to the Landshut station where we said our goodbyes:
Mick & Miggl met us at the train station in Munich and we had a quick lunch before Alan had to catch his train to Switzerland. After that, Kurt met us at a coffee shop by the Isar and we hung out with two cute kids, Helena & Julius:
Comparing retro shoes with MickThen we biked home and Matthias came and picked me up for dinner. Beate cooked a delicious Thai meal, as good as any I ever had in Thailand!!
Saying goodbye to Kurt
Was it MURDER???
Mick & Miggl’s balcony…one of the reasons for their 5 star accreditation and entry in the Fornia family of fine boutique hotels!
Master chef Beate cooked a great last supper to end my trip!In the morning, I walked to the train station and headed to the airport, where the outdoor beer garden was already busy.
I had some time to kill in Chicago as everything was delayed, so I relaxed and enjoyed seeing the artwork for the city’s bid to host the 2016 Olympics. Good luck!
All in all it was a great trip. I visited old friends and made many new ones. I relaxed by the sea and traversed the Alps. Another memorable GLY gathering. Special thanks to Bine for organizing everything and to Massi for letting us stay in his beautiful Tuscan villa. I’ve got a bunch of videos that I’ll have to compile and post later. Ciao Bello!

glad you enjoyed your trip and good to know you’re back safe and sound. so how are your dogs?
You missed a lot of action in LA while you were on a vacation! Now that you are back- I am expecting insider news on “War es Mord?”. (Not that I really care- but still!).
welcome back to the real world – now get to work! – lol. peace, Al
i want your life one day! ….well not yours. …i mean it’s not like i want to off you or anything. i guess what i should have said was a life like yours in that you go great places and have wonderful experiences… oh nevermind, i think you understand. ;)
I’M NOT A KILLERRR!!!
@Renatojr3 - Well, since none of them are really my dogs…they’re fine! That’s the best thing about being a dog sitter!
Thanks!
@Dezinerdreams - LOL, I was glad to be gone for that zoo…apparently most major highways were closed. I’m working on an expose that will rock the media though, don’t worry!
@pukemeister - Work? I always mix business with pleasure.
@curtainsopen - My life is possible because I have great friends that I enjoy spending time with. Anyone can achieve that! It’s not about where you go. But thanks!! :)

well, at least nobody dangles a babe over the balcony like what Michael Jackson did the last time he was in Germany.
