I hate hunting for airline tickets. But I think I’d hate going to Europe by boat even more.
So I thought I’d offer some tips on airline ticket hunting. We’ve found amazing deals. We’ve also paid more than we wish to remember to get back and forth between the US and Germany. I hope this helps make your trip comfortable no matter how much you end up spending.
My first visit to Yellowstone National Park was in kindergarden. My love for this park is one the reasons Martin says, “You can take Katie out of the country and put her in Berlin, but her heart is always in the country.” Yellowstone is – without a doubt – my all-time favorite National Park.
Here’s a seriously jaw-dropping youtube video my dad documented of a bugling elk in the park:
I caught him smiling in the co-pilot’s seat. It’s hard to catch him smiling in that chair. He likes to be pilot. But I like being pilot now, too!
My first solo flight + overnight out of town is coming up. I’m making Martin review emergency landing procedures with me. He’s reassigning the engine chapter of my textbook to me, and later we’re going to practice a few touch-and-gos where we land and immediately take off again on the remaining runway. ”Maybe I should just drive,” I keep telling him. The airport I’m flying to is incredibly challenging because of the mountains. I have little fears – the same kind you have on your first drive to another town or first interstate drive on an icy night.
I’m an American splitting life between a 480 square foot apartment in Berlin, Germany and – get this – a house made of old tires in the Rocky Mtns.
This blog chronicles the journey of Making This Home.Meet Katie.
