After two days without sleep and traveling from place to place I finally made it to my destination in Germany to a small town called “Weil der Stadt” (which is just south of Stuttgart.)

My Day
1. Woke up at 7 am Weds = 5 hours of sleep
2. Flight from Detroit to Frankfurt = no sleep
3. Interview at 10 am in Frankfurt with no sleep
4. 2 hour train ride from Frankfurt to Stuttgart, ending up in Weil der Stadt.

Coffee makes all things possible. With enough coffee I was buzzing all through the interview. As soon as I got to my destination, crash time. I couldn’t stay awake any longer.

Nickel and Dimed to death
Don’t think your only expense will be your flight. It is easy to spend little money here and there that can eventually add up to more than you thought. 1. Airport parking $5 (short term parking to drop me off) 2. Train ride from Frankfurt airport to Frankfurt up $5. 3. Luggage locker to hold my bags for interview $6. Little cost after little cost can quickly add up. Make sure that when you are flying you take in account for the nickel and dime effect and add that on to the cost of the flight.

Future Plans
I will spend the next few months interviewing, speaking German, and of course writing on ClickforNick. I’ll have to work very hard blogging to offset the current weak dollar, that seems to make even McDonalds in Germany seem like a fortune.
