Countdown to Take Off

Here’s a condensed update on what’s been happening:
I’ve defended my PhD thesis in mid December, had a farewell party a few days later, moved out of my flat and left Heidelberg for good, brought my stuff to my parents’ place and celebrated Christmas there and then went to Berlin for New Years.
At last, I will start my trip Jan 5 – tomorrow morning. Take-off is 11:50 at Tegel Airport, Berlin.
