Day 4 - Mr.T and Mutti bonding

Mr.T and Mutti are looking through old pictures of when The Kat was a Kitten. Mutti is more than happy to share any anecdotes she remembers and Mr.T is a keen listener - there is a lot of 'Ah' and 'Oh' and laughter of course. I hope Mutti won't get out the album from the '80!!

Day 1 - Mr.T meets Papa

We finally made it. It tooks us 32 hours door to door from OZ to ze Vaterland - where is Scotty when you need him ??
Unfortunately we had to endure being in Coach all the way through and as you can imagine the Kat was not happy!! Fortunately enough the Cabin Crew felt for the Kat and Mr.T and spoiled us rotten - 'Would you care for some Champagne with that sleeping pill?'
All 30 odd hours were forgotten once we went through customs in FRA and saw Papas happy and excited face. It didn't take long for Mr.T and Papa to have a joke at the Kats expense - I know, I`m such an easy target. Meanwhile I`m writing this post, both of them are doing Yoga. What the...??
Needless to say once we got to Papas place we got fed with, yes you guess it right, Cake - did I mention it was 7.30am? Followed by a proper German breakfast - with different kind of bread rolls, meats, cheese and Leberkäse. And that was only the beginning of our Gourmet Tour of Deutschland.

Going on a European Holiday!

The day has finally come. Mr.T and I are going on holidays - if you can call visiting the folks in Germany and going to a trade fair in Amsterdam a holiday.

My idea of a holiday is not having to see an aircraft from the inside let alone flying in it for 20 odd hours, hanging around airports and staying in hotels - sounds to much like work to me. I have tried contacting my friend Scotty to beam us over - how fabulous would that be, but to no avail.

So reluctantly I went to get the tickets today, 18 hours before we are about to leave. I still haven't packed, but even worse neither has Mr.T!! Mr.T is to busy at the moment with putting little stickers on things - don't ask!

We are heading tomorrow to Frankfurt via Singapore and Adelaide - Ade.. what? EXCACTLY! But with lots of luck we will be doing it in Business Class - Champagne here we come. We have a 5 hour transit in Singapore, which we will probably spend in The Qantas Club, thanks to Mr.T's life time membership - how handy :)

Once we arrive in ze Fatherland, folks and friends will treat us like Kings!
"Finally we are meeting ze boyfriend."
You can be guaranteed that we'll be fed until we explode. Fois Gras anyone?

After Mr.T has endured everything that comes with the Kat, we'll head to Amsterdam, by train, along the Rhine River - noice.

Room 68 of the Ambassade Hotel Amsterdam is were we reside - its a gorgeous Hotel and it will be our third time in that room ...

After a week in Amsterdam it's time for me to come back home. Mr.T's travels will continue to Geneva, London, New York and finally San Francisco - all in First Class of course thanks to an endless amount of freakenflyer points.

Meanwhile I'll be flying for work to San Fran as well to meet up with Mr.T - just in time for Folsom Street Fair :)

I know, life sucks!

Like I said, my idea of a holiday is not.....

Stay posted!
