This past week from April 1st - April 9th I was in Germany. My mom is from there and we go visit her family every 2 years. The flight there was 8 hours 45 minutes. 35,000 feet and at one point 650 mph. Tuesday I went on a 5 hour motorcycle trip with my uncle on his bike. Its a Triumph Sprint 1050. We did 210 kilometers (126mph) on the autobahn. I saw a good bit of American vehicles. Corvette, F150, Dodge Ram, American Civics, Ford Mustang, Dodge Dually, Chevy 2500, Jeep, Ford Explorer, and maybe a few more I cant remember.

For gas there, once you convert everything, they are paying $7.76 a gallon. Inspections cost like $600. You have to get an inspection every 2 years or every 80,000 kilometers, I forgot which.

I have a friend that lives across the street from my grandpa's house and he can speak English, so it was nice to be able to talk to him.

On the trip me, my mom, and my sister stayed with my grandpa.

I took 540 pictures, but only uploaded about 150 of them.

The blue car that looks like it's ass cut off is my grandpa's car.

I completely forgot about telling anyone on here where I was going. The farthest west I got was Ingelheim.

LOL! No big deal. Missing out on a huge Mustang car show on the 17th :p Plus if you came later in the summer you would be able to hit the German Race Wars...Nothing like a weekend of half naked women (or fully), alcohol, burning rubber, and the sound of our American V8s laying a stomping on the poor German kids...
example...

The original plan was to go during the summer, but plane ticket prices were 3 times as much. Once I graduate school and start working, I'll be able to go whenever I want to.

my brother was born in Frankfort, my father use to be in the service, we where over there twice, the first time I was too young to remember, and the second time I was in the 3rd and 4th grade, over there when it snows, they put chains on the busses and we go to school.

Rhein-Main was my entry point when I first got stationed over here...There is now a C-17 at Ramstein AB that is called 'The Spirit of Rhein-Main'
