After much drama and trauma, which included three cancelled flights, a credit card stretched to its limit, and finally (thankfully) a flight that wasn t cancelled (but delayed), Liebling arrived in Berlin safe and sound at around 5am on Monday morning. He ended up finding a night flight flying out of London to Hanover, Germany, which is a 3-hour drive away from Berlin. His gracious dad made the epic journey, in blowing snow, to Hanover to pick up Liebling, and then, in worsening conditions and in the middle of the night, turned right around and drove straight back to Berlin retrieving his son from the airport. Liebling’s dad is awesome!
Liebling was exhausted by the time he arrived, and I was feeling sick with a bad tummy (again), so our 5am reunion was a bit subdued, but we were both glad (and relieved) to see each other.
I spent all of yesterday in bed feeling sick, but Liebling was the ultimate nurse, and I m glad to report that at this moment (it s Tuesday morning as I write this)I am feeling at almost 100%.
I think it might also have to do with the arrival of my luggage. After over two days of hand-wringing (me) and frantic phone calls made in German (by Liebling and his family), my suitcase was finally delivered to Liebling s mom’s place late Monday night, more than two days after my arrival in Berlin. After worrying that my luggage was really lost and gone forever, I almost wanted to get up and do the moonwalk upon its return.
So, with bag and boyfriend in tow, a clean bill of health, and improving weather conditions, I am finally ready to take Berlin by storm (and in a fresh change of clothes, no less)!! Life is good.

Glad you are ok. BTW, we met in Korea.
Phew! Good stuff. Now you can really enjoy. Germany is sooo much fun.
Goodness, that sounds like something out a movie!
I'm glad to hear that everything has worked out. London has come to a stand still and we are snowed in with cancelled flights and the whole shebang.
i absolutely hate snow lol.
I hope you have a great time and an awesome christmas!
Cherish
Gosh, this story sounds like something out of the movies-it's unreal. Thank goodness everything worked out for you and Liebling (thanks also to his wonderful father too). The weather situation in the UK/London has many of us across the pond bemused- we've had worse snow here and haven't had this sort of travel chaos. I just hope those stranded will be able to get home for the holidays.
Ooohhh, your going to have a good time..…Berlin is swank during the holidays, especially on New Year's!
Oh, glad your luggage arrived. That happened to me once and I was pissed. Now that you're feeling better, hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
Yay! Now have some fun!!
Thanks everyone!

I have a cold at the moment , at least it isn't pneumonia like 3 weeks ago. I am trying to get better because I have winter camp to teach and a concert to go to on the 31st. I love it here. I will try to stay as long as possible. Any teaching tips you can give me?
Glad to hear that you're both safe, sound and in the same place. Enjoy Berlin – it's a great city!
