Mannheim Here We Come!

Well we finally found out where we're being stationed at Mannheim!

Some interesting facts:
The largest castle in Germany is in Mannheim
They have satellite campuses of Univ. of Oklahoma, Phoenix, and Maryland as well as Central Texas College
It is located 60 miles from Frankfurt and 15 miles from Heidleburg in Southwestern Germany
The weather is comparable to that of Ohio, Indiana, and/or Kentucky but not humid
Average high in July (hottest month) is 77 and the average low in January (coldest month) 29

Matt went to the travel briefing today and from what he says it sounds like that'll be a LOT of fun. Completing an inventory of everything, guessing max. weights for every room, etc. They will do a preinspection the day before they come to pack and they will come twice- once around 2nd week of May and then again right before we leave.

So whats left? Sending our POV (personally owned vehicle aka my car) over from Dallas (week after graduation), finance briefing (next week), shipping things, getting our last minute things like a cage for elvis for the plane, finding a nice camera (I want a fancy one like Adri's for all our tourist photos haha with the cool lense you can focus yourself!!!), downloading more music for Matt on his zune and books for my kindle, etc. Oh yeah- and finishing these last two weeks of classes and then finals week!! WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!
