My Photo
Name:
Location: San Francisco, Northern Cali

GYPSY: (noun) One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life. The first time I traveled alone I was 4. My mom pinned a note to my dress then put me on a plane from Atlanta to L.A. to visit my dad for the summer. That must have marked the beginning of my insatiable wanderlust because I can't seem to get enough of running away from home. In the mean time, I've spent my life between a career in the media and years in the hospitality industry. My independence has kept me single but that's a part of life when your first love is travel. I've been robbed in Australia and slept on a park bench in Amsterdam, but at the end of the day, I was on the road and that's where I'm most at home.

Otto...The Great

This is the last night I will see my darling Otto, and I´m already having separation anxiety. I was also thinking that it might be beneficial to clarify our relationship. He is not a boyfriend, but rather I have decided to cannonize him to Murphy-hood. That´s right, I did not think it was possible, but indeed I have met a Czech Murphy and this means BFF´s for life. If I never see him again, which I hope isn´t the case, he really made my time here so much richer than I could have ever imagined. Wow, can´t believe I´m leaving. Crazy.

Speaking of leaving, I finally figured out my train situation for Berlin, I leave Friday around 1 p.m. and arrive around 6:30. I will be staying with a friend´s cousin for a few days then checking into City Stay Hostel for about 5 nights for the Love Parade. The hostel is right by the big TV tower in the middle of all the action and my first order of business will be to get myself a proper kebab and a big beer. Yum.

Off to do laundry at Otto´s mom´s house then to Chateau to watch the Germany-Italy match. It´s all Deutchland now, I say for purely selfish reasons. BETTER PARTY!!!
Otto leaves tomorrow afternoon, and while I am totally and completely gutted, I´m stoked that he gets to lay on the beach in Croatia and chill out. I would have gone with him, but Berlin bekons and must be done. At least this time I will be able to walk! Whoo Hoo! I´ve also realized that I can burn my film to CD, so I will do that tomorrow and hopefully upload some photos. I have to get one of O with the chicken, I don´t even have one of him at all! Ee-gads! Note to self...

Well, that´s it, I´m eternally frustrated with these keyboards. LATERS!
