Skymiles to Germany?

So, I’m thinking of taking a week trip to Germany this year. I have relatives there, and can probably stay with my Uncle… or at least at his house that he has renovated into apartments. I think I might have enough skymiles for two tickets, so I might drag my friend Marie with me! Maybe someone will give me a gift card that I can use in Germany, for some fun stuff!
I also hope to get some settlement money from my car accident. I should know in a week or two, I think. I really hope to get enough to pay off my mortgage, but so far the other insurance is only offering me $8,000. That is not enough to pay off the mortgage! We owe $23,000 on the mortgage. Dangit, I really want to pay that off. We are so close, I can taste it!
And speaking of money, I was balancing my checkbook today and found out that I’d been calculating my new minivan loan wrong… I actually wasn’t even taking it into account! Crap! So that’s why I’ve been so freakin’ short of money lately. And the Husband isn’t working… he does work occasionally for his brother-in-law, enough to buy food for us and some dog food. But I pay the mortgage and the utilities and such now… plus dog sports and taxes. So I have a pretty major budget I follow. And when it’s messed up, I’m messed up. So next paycheck will be tight again, but after that, I think I’ll be much better off as I finally figured it out! Bleh.
So anyway, Germany would be fun. Maybe we’d take the train around too and see some other things. We’d stay in Bingen in Germany… and there is a ton of things to do just there, and we could walk, and it’d be completely fun!

Hehe, I don’t know if “drag” me along would be the right description. I’d be thrilled to death to go!!!

I think you want to stay more then a week though. Jet lag will take you 3 days easy! Ugh!
I really have to go and visit my family, but am dreading the loooong flight.
If we go at the same time, you can come visit Bad Kreuznach and I can show you around there. It is only 20 minutes from Bingen.
I want to see StoneHenge one day!
