Two Week Warning

I leave for Germany in exactly two weeks. I've reached crunch time. In order to blow off a little steam (and pick up some) and celebrate our anniversary, my wife and I are heading to Las Vegas next week. I thought I'd use the time to test out some of my technology, including the netbook, Flip video camera, and Canon digital camera. Don't be surprised to see some non-German content on the blog next week as I practice uploading photos and video (video probably will be posted to YouTube) and blogging.

I also need to decide how I'm going to get from Berlin's Tegel airport to the hotel on Potsdamer Platz. I have a bus map, but I'm not sure I'll be coherent enough when I land to navigate public transportation. Of course, there are taxis and an airport shuttle.
