I knew women who NEVER left the base! They shopped at the commissary and

Ok, another dream,,wouldn't it be a blast to save our money for a couple of years or something and get several families together and go to Europe!!
We could stay in hostels or in cheap B & B's, or with friends of friends.
I'll call the trip Unschooling in Europe! Then you talented writers can write a book about it and next we would go to Asia for the next trip, Unschooling in Asia, write another book and so on and so on! OK, so I'm an idea person and I'll shut up now. This is what happens when I wake up in the night and ramble!

Oh, don't tempt me or you'll have me and my three with, I'm known for doing things like that!
Tell me about the conference and what you are thinking, if you are serious.
All I have to say to my dh is "Europe"and he would be all over it.
We've said we want to go back over there and May would be a good time, he loves England but has only been there twice. He has some friends of his family in London so we could visit them, but I'm not sure where the conference is that you're talking about.
Ok, I'll stop now, my fingers can't keep up with my brain.
Oh and I have friends in different parts of France, and connections in Germany too.
Ok, I'll really stop now.

and I also don't like being here. I am entitled to that, although sometimes
it leaves me feeling torn.
I don't know when you were here, but much has changed in recent years. Most
people do not live on the economy now. There are so many closed posts, that
there is lots of extra housing. Obviously that colors my view of this
country. Much has changed here since September 11th, too. All posts are
closed, all housing areas are closed. Armed guards walk our perimeters at
all times. The Germans do not like being locked out of areas they used to
walk through, and we are much more seperated from each other these days.
Friedberg and Giessen together have 1 brigade and the BSB. We have 1 px, 2
small commisaries, and 2 shopettes. It's nothing like the facilities at
Wiesbaden and Mainz. I do get off the base, quite a lot. I find that in
larger towns, particularly Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, there are lots of
foreigners and they're more tolerated than they are here in my small town.
I do know people who don't get out and hate Germany. But I know that many
people, like myself, miss America a lot, yet still try, still travel, and
see this as a mixed blessing. Does that make sense?

I'll be booking my hesfes tickets just after xmas. Its tent camping
although I think there are some caravans for hire. Mind you, they
are off the main site and a lot of the fun at Hesfes is in sitting
outside poeple's tents and talking. The kids run lose over the
campground. Lots of warm clothes as England can be chilly at
night in May and rainy.
Most people who go are unschoolers and are alternative :-)

someone has to stay and look after the dogs n cats. They are
unvaccinated so we can't stick 'em in kennels.
I'm used to travelling with the kids and without him so it doesn't
bother me.

I don't know if they'd be living on a base or out on the economy, but if they
are on a base then they would follow under the DODDS, which from what I
understand isn't that big a deal. They may have to submit a form to the local
school principal, etc. notifying them that they are homeschooling. If they are out
on the economy then they are subject to local rules if I am not mistaken...<<<
They are allowed to homeschool whether they live on base or on the economy.

We found the beds to be interesting as well. When we first arrived
there, we stayed in a hotel for a few weeks. Instead of a big double
bed, there were 2 single beds with wooden frames around them, and they
were pushed together. But it wasn't really like a big bed because
there was wood in the middle! And instead of disgusting hotel
bedspreads that rarely get washed here in the U.S., they had down
comforters and changed the comforter covers every day. They hung the
comforters out of the (unscreened) windows to air them out. You could
see comforters hanging out of windows all over the place.
The beds used to DRIVE US CRAZY!!!! We lived in Germany for 7 years. Also,
Tupperware, European Tupperware is all very very small sized oriented.
Unique, but small. We'd call the soda delivery and they'd deliver cases of cola,
spezi, and several other flavors right to our door, anytime. We'd pay our
monthly bill. Pizzas were large rectangles, not circles. The layout of apts
was confusing. In one apt we rented, you had to walk through absolutely every
room of the house to get to the bathroom. I loved watching the weddings,
we lived across the street from a church. They would have horse-drawn
carriages, beautiful gowns, and LOTS of bells.
