Hello from Germany..
Here is a pic of some of my favorite ND girls.. what a wedding it was - Carrie was stunning, the event was 3 days of good times and overall a reminder how much good friends mean in life!!! I can honestly say I have been blessed with meeting so many amazing people.. I just wish they all lived in Maryland..
On a another topic.. I thought I would share one of most scary (and embarrassing) travel stories.. So after a 3 hour delay getting out of DC.. I finally made it to London a little after midnight.. and headed straight to get a cab to the hotel.. Well the cabbies wouldn’t take credit cards.. so ran back in to get some “pounds” from the ATM.. well all 3 ATMs were broken.. then luckily changed my only US dollars over at the American Express place (what a ripoff) anyways.. back out to get a cab.. but now of course there is a long line.. but finally get in the cab.. well half way to the hotel I realize I am not sure where I put my passport.. pull everything out of my purse.. my computer bag.. nothing,. Nada.. its gone.. so I tell the cabbie I need to go back to the airport.. however I then realize after I pay him I will no longer have enough cash to get back to the hotel.. amazingly the cabbie feels so bad he does not charge me.. on this drive back I am starting to realize how bad this will be.. I mean I can not take my flight to Germany in the morning.. I can’t go on my trip to Asia as I no longer have the necessary visas.. I mean this would be pure disaster..
So once we get to the airport - I run in like a madwomen.. over to the ATMs to look around.. nothing.. run over to the AMEX guy... and he looks at me with a blank stare as I ask about my passport.. but then says.. what is your name? I said Stephany.. he says oh I just turned it into security.. MIRACLE!!! So yes.. I am now the luckiest person ever!!!
