Delivery service just rang! Making travel arrangements for our research trip sometimes feels like christmas, as we are getting little gift packages almost on a daily basis. This time it’s a Navigon 4310 max, so we are making sure not to lose our way in the USA. Thanks to the kind people at Navigon who provide this one for our trip. Usually the 4310 max comes with only European maps, but it seems as if they made an exception for us 
Note the small label on the lower left corner… I bet this’ll help us find remote and secret access roads to Area 51! (Click to enlarge)
Speaking of GPS, navigation and geoinformation: To be able to tag the photos we are going to take, we just purchased an i-Blue 747 GPS Logger at everybody’s favorite online auction house. For a mere 45 dollars. The i-Blue 747 tracks itineraries and geoinformation that can be synchronized to Exif information of digital photos. I don’t know yet how (good) that’s gonna work out, but will keep you posted as soon as this little gadget gets dropped off… Like christmas, as I said.

So we booked a flight to and from New York, but since we had a stopover in Washington, DC, we thought it would be a pretty good idea to get off there and start heading west. Well, the airline didn’t think so. After several hours of being put through hotlines and helpdesks in about every corner of the world their final word is No! They won’t let us get off at the stopover without having to cancel our return flight from New York to Frankfurt, too. I don’t get it.
Apparently United not only breaks guitars, but also our meticulously planned itinerary …
So, we have to take the plane to Newark, NJ. No big deal, you might say, costs us only a single night (and another 250 miles). But with Alex’s fear of flying it means having to convince him of boarding another plane within two hours, not just two months as he had hoped for.
