Headed for Home and the Good old USA

acervately We awoke this morning at the miniature IBIS about 0630 and finished our morning routines and then headed over to Gare L’Est for a 0906 train to Kiserslautern Germany.  We were booked in First Class after our poor second class accommodations from Basel to Paris.  Far more comfortable seats and more room for luggage, a meal/smack was included and the bathrooms were even a step up; but no larger.

The trip was very comfortable and we arrived at Kaiserslautern at 1138, 5-minutes late.  We probably got the only cab driver that had never been to the temporary house section at Vogelweh, and even with the address he was confused.  I call the Vogelweh inn and got direction but the drive still got lost, after stopping and asking diction while on the base we finally arrived at building 1002 and the from desk.  Everything when fine after that we have a large room with a sitting room and a full bath.  The facilities here are a bit older than at the Ramstein Inn but muck larger and comfortable.

Were going to walk over the the bowling ally where there is an American style pub for dinner and then turn in early.

Roll call is at 0500 and checkin begins at 0400 so it will be an early morning, we have to catch a cab from Vogelweh to the flight line.  We are keeping our room and will return if we do not get on the plane and try again on Tuesday.

We’re both looking forward to being home and sleeping in our own bed and planning our next trip.
