Today’s target run: rest
Our next step on the “Texas Tour of Germany” included a VERY early morning flight to Berlin. Is it even legal to catch a 6:30 am flight while one is on vacation? Either way, we did just that (you do the math – what time did we have to get up in the morning to make a 6:30 am flight? Yikes!)
This morning began a trend that became a bit problematic, but laughable: the trend of the “lost/forgotten” item. As we sped away from the apartment in the wee morning hours, we realized that we’d left the airplane tickets on the counter. Thankfully, we were only a few apartments away, so we were able to literally put the taxi in reverse and loop back to pick us the tix. Whew! OK, with tickets now in hand, we were off to the airport.
Over the course of this week, the trend of lost/forgotten items included airline tickets, luggage, hats, gloves, books, ATM cards, cameras, souvenir purchases etc.. The good news is that nothing was ever lost for good…except a little time. No harm, no foul.
Still, our next lost item involved luggage. Apparently, the Budman was so preoccupied in figuring out the Berlin city mass transit for the entire group that he walked off from his roller bag at the Berlin Airport Information Booth, leaving his bag behind…unattended. Not good in this day of heightened airport security, and yes, it was picked up by airport police. When he realized his mistake and returned to the information booth, he was informed he had a “grosses problem”. Translation: big problem (in German).
30-45 minutes later, we retrieved the bag from Airport Polizei…(although they were less than happy to deal with this issue).
