I am an American expat who recently moved to Germany with my wife and two dogs - and yes, they flew in the cabin with us during the move. While our move may not be permanent, but when the opportunity presented itself - we couldn't refuse. Traveling is a passion of ours and living in the center of Europe gives us an access point to virtually the entire continent. We would love to visit as many countries as possible and decided that we wanted to keep a travelogue for ourselves as well as share our experiences with our friends and families back in the States. Before we moved, we read a significant amount of expat blogs to gather our bearings as best as we could, therefore, if we kept a blog similar to those we read - maybe someone will find it useful, or just enjoy reading about our experiences.
