I leave in a few hours, "hopefully." The German Air Traffic Controllers are threatening to strike from 6am till noon tomorrow. As of right now, everything is on schedule. I called Expedia and they contacted Lufthansa (whom I a flying out of Hamburg on) and they said everything is on schedule. I spoke to mom and dad this evening and dad said that the military has air traffic controllers, so perhaps they will step in should a strike go on. It's about 11:30 pm here at the moment and there is still no word on what will happen tomorrow. There was a hearing in Frankfurt at 1:30 pm and the court ruled that the controllers could strike. Then at 9pm the courts heard the appeal to block the strike from the government (I think). I'm not feeling well tonight, so this will be a brief entry.
Another rainy day today. It rained on and off and barely reached 65 today. We didn't do too much, stopped at a second hand shop, and then a mall just to walk around. I didn't buy too much and I think I'm down to about 3 Euros. haha. Pretty lame. Henry was quiet last night and so far this evening he's pretty quiet. His tooth finally broke the gum and it's slowly coming in. I've managed to get everything packed and I hope that my suitcase is under the limit. When they weighed the bag in Tucson it was 43lbs and in order to check it for free it should be under 50. I don't think I purchased 7lbs of things. haha. Or I at least hope not. Keep your fingers crossed.
If all goes well tomorrow I should arrive in Tucson at 6pm. I will not have internet on my 10 hour flight from London to Houston as I anticipated. I thought I was flying on a Lufthansa plane but it's actually operated by Continental and they don't have wifi. So it's 10 hours of semi-lame programming. Let's hope there's a better selection than the last flight. And let's hope I get some dissertation work done and some sleep. 10 hours is a long time.
I will do my best to update before I got to bed tomorrow. I hope Roger is happy to see me. See you tomorrow, Tucson!
