Today's the day!

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Sitting in hotel staring out window at the Welt. Only 3 short hours left. Don't know what to do with myself. Bags are re-packed, eyes are open, wife in shower. What left to do? Oooh, yeah, that's right. Get clean and pick up my feckin car! Fuck yes! Sorry for the uninformational posting, but holy shit is this surreal. Have a great day, fellow bimmerposters, I know I will!!!

Thank you!! That surely makes two of us!

Side note- thank god we got drunk celebrating my wife's birthday last night, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sleep. Funny how that works out--she's paying for it now though, and I'm rearing to go.

Congrats...

Hmm start posting Pics and video( Also don't forget photos of the food you eat)... We have to live via you again..

You could leave the wife in the hotel and do the 1st part of the M bonding solo...

What if she vomits in the car?

On behalf of Bimmerpost.. Tell your Wife Happy Birthday... An if she is over the age of 30.. Happy 29th

Thanks Doc!! Yes, will certainly have photos galore once I'm ready to recap this trip. For now, trying to live in it not worry about documenting it. Yeah, I thought the same, but our route takes us straight from Welt to Berchtesgaden - not going to come back to the hotel, but then again there is a train here so she could meet me wherever .

On the "what if she vomits in the car" thing -- NOT FUNNY! In that case, her calves will get a hell of a workout climbing the alps.

And the wife thanks you very much for the b-day wishes. Yup, 29 it is!

Valid Argument on the living in the moment.. but you could get a few or or or even ....

For your failure to not post pics at a later date..

I would ask Welt for a large trash bag, I mean vomit will mess up that new car smell...

Today I've finally been able to put some time in on getting a write-up done. Should be completed by end of next weekend if my limited free time doesn't get repossessed. Keep patient young padowan.

Me too, just didn't anticipate the time required to put one together I'd be happy with. Plus, that whole lack of free time thing. And Iceland really screwed up my internal clock. Sleep for 3 or four hours at a clip, then hit the road again - if the sun never really sets your body is ready to go as if it's always daybreak. By the time I got back to the states I was about 12 hours off from an internal vs. real clock standpoint. The past 2 days since getting back have been rough.

As of now I'm up to end of day 4 out of 14 on my write-up. This is a time occupier for sure. Every time I "finish" a day, I end up with "Oh, shit, that's right, have to add XYZ into two days back, etc. if that makes sense, congratulations on interpreting me - that will come in handy when I finally put up the trip report!

Pictures I guarantee. Videos may not have too much at the initial posting - lots of hours to go through. I did put two quick clips on youtube, linked below as a time-occupier for you if it helps.

OK, I put some time in today to get a basic write-up assembled. We'll see what my video yields that's usable, but I've been able to dump my Friday night into this thus far. Enjoy:

Thanks, Doc. my weekend is jam packed as of now so I'm hoping to have the rest of the trip finished during next week. That'll include the Netherlands (a very limited overview of my adventures there) and then Iceland - which was incomparable. And also my final thoughts on the car. Stay tuned!

Thanks for posting photos and telling us your ED story. For those who haven't yet tried ED, start planning. It's really this good!

Your car looks amazing. Congratulation!
