It’s also know an Student Dependent Transportation, Student Dependent Travel, or Dependent Student Travel, because apparently one name would be too easy 😉
The military has a program [Read more…]
I’ve made a Flying the Rotator Overseas PSC Checklist for those of you doing an Overseas PCS. As I’ve been helping many families during their Overseas PCS I’ve found that not everyone is able to easily get information. I’ve been told by several people that they were not told by their leaving base that they all needed current military ID’s and several families arrived with their kids having expired [Read more…]
Taking your child to college from overseas can be be an intimidating and overwhelming process. While we love living overseas I can’t say that we loved the though of having to take our 17 year old back to the States and drop him off while we flew back to another country. There was also very little information online that I could find about it as well. I will say that the process went smoothly and [Read more…]

There are [Read more…]
While it’s always super exciting to move overseas, at least for us, this is our first time we are having to actually live off base and live like the local culture and we’ve found there are quite a few differences! There are many differences living in Germany compared to Stateside life, even more so when you live off base. Living the authentic German lifestyle is very different that living in a house [Read more…]

I get asked often what is my favorite trick or tip to make PCSing (or moving) just a bit easier. My answer is always PCS color coded organization! What do I mean by that? It’s really so simple but makes a world of difference just by using colored duct tape! So how does this simple but effective system work? Let me explain…

So everyone here has been raving about eating Eis (ice cream) at Eiscafe Dolomiti in Speicher so we had to go try it out. They even offer ‘spaghetti’ ice cream that looks like spaghetti noodles. It’s located at Bahnhofstrasse 3 in Speicher right before City Grill. It’s open daily from 10 am to 10 pm!
Just look for the blue sign, there is also a large ice cream cone outside the door as well.

I know, I know…many of you have been waiting on pins & needles to see pics of our German home! I mean it only took us 2.5 months to find and 3 months to move in after our arrival here in Germany. I know curiosity abounds as to what house we got that we finally said ‘yes’ to after 21 houses, LOL!! Of course we had to get unpacked before I’d dare take any pics, so your lucky that I’ve taken these [Read more…]
