Departure Day 2023

      Well its here!  I am packed and ready to go, I just need to be picked-up to go to the airport.  Of course, I have 2 1/2 hours to go!  I am checked-in for my flight and have my hotel reservation confirmation for Berlin.  This always a very exciting yet stressful day.  No matter what I always feel excited, nervous and anxious.  But once I get on the plane it will be fine.

     Once I land and get my luggage, I will get a taxi to the Berlin Hilton.  I have stayed there many times.  Usually my room is ready and I can get right in, so I am hoping the same happens today, actually tomorrow.  Then I usually take a nice shower, put on the robe they give in the room, and take a nice nap.  Dinner on the first night is always at Block House.  This is a steak house on Friedrich Strasse and I will be there early so sitting will be no problem.  It is a standard steak house with really nice steaks and good beer to go with them.

     I really have not made any other plans for the week I am there.  I know I want to go to the Stadt Palais museum and , of course, to the Gemalde Gallerie.  Other than that....
