Munich, Germany - Here I Come!

My passes on Lufthansa arrived today. I'm planning on heading to Munich, Germany on December 1st to visit the Christmas Markets. Apprently these are prevalent throughout Europe and the one in Munich is one of the oldest. Check on this link .

My flight leaves JFK at 5:45pm on Wednesday the first, and arrives in Munich around 8am. I figure I should clear Customs hop the train and be to the hotel by around 10 or 10:30am. Maybe they'll let me check in early and catch a little nap before I go exploring. Friends will be arriving from Cologne on Friday around 4pm and we'll do dinner and then more exploration.

I am so excited! I haven't been to Germany since I worked for Northwest Airlines in 1999 and then it was a layover Mainz (just outside of Frankfurt). I am staying at the Park Inn a few miles east of Munich.

I'll be posting pictures and writing of my adventure.

Welcome First Root Canal

So, it only took 47 years, but today I welcomed my first root canal. So far (and I say that while on oxycodone), it hasn't been as bad as I had read and been lead to believe. I think maybe advances in dental technology and treatments have improved so as to give us a break. One thing I didn't know is that they do a root canal in two parts. So I'm heading back in a couple of weeks to finish it up. It's amazing how a problem in your mouth can affect your facial area. I thought the right side of my face was going to fall off it was hurting so bad. I think I'm going to be okay now though! Yippee!

Oh, if you are reading this and live in the NNJ area, the professional that performed my root canal, and whom I would highly recommend is Dr. Steven Bair in Lodi, NJ.
