Munich and on to Prague

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

Just a shot update, we are in Prague right now just sitting at an internet cafe. I have been having a blast with my buddy Brooks and its been alot of beer drinking esp in Munich. It seems like the culture in Munich is based around drinking good German beer which being German my self isn’t quite so bad. Only booboo that has happened so far on the 2nd day right before our bike tour (Mikes bike tour) I dropped my camera and boom the 8 gig flash card died on me. Grrr, that sucked but thank god it was only the 2nd day and not to many pictures where taken. luckily I had a spare flash card which then Brooks and I backtracked and retook alot of the photos.

anyhow just a short hello from the road. If your ever in Munich I highly recommend the Mikes Bike tour and our guide Adam did a great job.

2 Weeks, One Small Bag = Euro Trip

Monday, April 30th, 2007

I’m off to Europe for two weeks and will be visiting Munich, Prague, Vienna and Budapest but with one small catch a small bag. Ok well maybe its not so small for your backpackers but for me im used to a decent sized luggage. However I was pretty surprised as to what I could fit into my Swiss Army Victorinox Travel Bag.

Here is a run down for anyone interested in these type of bags or want something smaller than normal luggage to carry around.

  • 4 Blue Jeans
  • 1 pair Dress Slacks
  • 6 tee shirts
  • 2 dress shirts
  • Extra Dress Shoes
  • 2 Shorts
  • 1 pair of swim trunks
  • Bunch of Socks and Boxers
  • Restroom Gear
  • Electronic Gear and Chargers

Of course this doesn’t seem like a lot for a two week trip and I’ll need to do laundry at the mid way point but the convenience of having a small bag that has wheels or can be carried as a backpack is going to work out well for the number of countries we are visiting.

Lets hope the airlines don’t give me hell with all the bathroom gear, as I read on the TSA website you can have 3 oz items that fit into a small zip lock bag but their was no word as to how many 3 oz items you can have.

Anyhow Off to Europe, I will be taking plenty of pictures and making sure to geo tag them look for updates while im on my trip.
