I'm back!
It's true what Ian says...I'm stuck in Frankfurt and thought that, as long as I'm here, I might as well take this nerdosphere to the next (German) level. Here are the details, as per the email I just sent to my family:
I am here in Frankfurt on an unexpected extension of my Europ-Ian tour. My delayed flight from Geneva landed at 17:08...which was just enough time for me to miss my 17:00 connection, of course! After a brief meltdown (why is this the second time in my life that I have found myself sprinting through the Frankfurt airport?), I got hooked up with a ticket for tomorrow and a night's accommodation at some weird hotel in what seems to be the German equivalent of Mississauga. I had a good dinner, though, and even got invited to join my new German businessman friends: Dieter, Peter, and Wolfgang. We ate American-style burgers and drank beer and bashed Americans, which cheered me up considerably!
Not much more to tell, faithful blog readership. Oh, except that the hotel is World War I/II aviation themed: there are black and white pictures of propeller planes, pilots and their planes, pilots and their girlfriends and their planes, propellers hanging from the ceiling of the bar...
A note about the backpack -- while it looks cool, it could use some help in the function department. It has a very small neck (makes stuffing difficult), and it's so dark inside you can't find anything you put in it! And the name is "Bobble-B" (or something silly like that). I would have called it X-Pack. Now that's a name for an extreme backpack...a culturally translatable name, I might add. I should be in business school.
Back tomorrow...Lufthansa/Air Canada willing!
Here ends (officially) my blog postings for the foreseeable future.

Good luck Laura from Toronto of the Snows. With a winter storm warning here, who knows where you'll be tonight.
