The Best of Travel Tuesday

Happy Travel Tuesday!

 Today is the last time we will all be linking up with Bonnie, A Compass Rose for #TravelTuesday.
I found this link up back in 2013 while I was planning for our first trip to Italy. I saw the button on Margo's blog back when it was Guten Blog, y'all! And it stayed in my notes, I finally took the plunge and joined the #TravelTuesday link up for the first time back in February 2014 (my post about taking a day trip to Schwerin). I don't recall but I think I just dumped my link and left #NotCoolYo, I didn't receive any comments on said post.
The next time I linked up though, I did hop around and "met" some bloggers. It was May 2014 and the prompt of the month was all about languages. I really enjoyed hopping around that week since there were quite a few German-related posts; Katrina's "Love/Hate Relationship with the German Language" comes to mind.

 I continued to participate in this link up throughout the next two years. and I met a lot of fellow expats and travel-loving people along the way. Some of them became blogging friends and we've been following each other for quite a while now.

Some of my Prompt Tuesday posts:
Festivals and Celebrations: Laternenumzug with the kita.
Unexpected destinations: A day trip to Schwerin.
Favorite travel partner: I love traveling with my husband and daughter.
Best of the year: A recap of my top trips in 2014.

 I mention some of my favorite posts from the Travel Tuesday community in my:
What's on your European bucket list?
I've been recently working on my facebook game, and found a really neat group for Expat Bloggers in Europe, if you're here, then I recommend you request to join it! Some Facebook pages from fellow Travel Tuesday friends that I've been following and think you should give them a like are the following, the ones in bold require more love:
Adventurings Blog, Amy and The Great World, Full of Beans and Sausages, Grey World Nomads, Journey of Doing, My Meena Life, Our Life Overseas, Setarra, Sparkling Crane, The Red Phone Box Travels, The Thrifty Gypsy Travels, With Love

 From now on, use the hashtag: #BestOfTravelTuesday when referring to this awesome link up! Please join me, The Thrifty Gypsy Travels and A Nesting Nomad in linking up one last time below…

     Hi Everyone! it's been a while since i posted anything to my blog, and i opened blogger today and found a couple of drafts, this one I had done as a guest post on a friends blog and figured I'd post it here to! Have you been following along on instagram? I post on my stories almost daily and it's so much fun for me!    List the top 5 cities you've visited and why. I've already done a post on this, 5 Places I'd like to revisit go check it out and tell me if we have any cities in common! What do you like doing in your spare time? I enjoy spending time on the computer and watching stuff on Netflix. when I have time I like challenging myself to do puzzles. What are you reading?

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
