Flight Survived

This evening, just about an hour ago in fact, Milo and I landed back on Berlin turf and I am now peacefully at home going through my post and am about to unpack whilst Milo is at his dad's, thrilled to be back with 'papa' and demanding to play with his Eisenbahn (steamtrain set). It's lovely to be home and I always get a little kick when I enter my apartment and get hit by that brand new smell. Honestly. After being away my apartment always builds that up smell I first experienced the very first time I walked through the front door to check the flat out and I remember that being such an exciting moment, falling in love with this apartment for the first time and wanting it to be my home, and I get to experience that delicious moment over and over again each time I return from a trip away. It may only happen a couple of times a year but oh how precious it is.

Milo and I had the best return journey to date today which was both unexpected and happily experienced and a new last minute treat that my parents kindly bought for us came in very handy at the airport: our very own Trunki.I'd seen this cute kids suitcases at the airport before but always forgot about it and then my cousin's girlfriend recommended me getting one for Milo as she found them really useful for when travelling with her little ones. I am so happy we went for it. I chose the fire engine design ( German link / English link ) as Milo has a big place in his heart for fire engines and squeels in delight whenever he see's one and it's both super cute AND super practical. It's opened up a whole new avenue of packing options meaning I can finally take advantage of Milo's handluggage allowance without having to carry yet another bag around (it fits within airline hand luggage allowances and comes with a lead so you can roll it along the floor) plus it kept Milo super entertained whilst we were at the airport. Bonus! In case you can't tell, I'm rather taken with the thing!

Back in Berlin, I have a lot of plans for the coming weeks. I can't wait to get started and I will fill you all in in good time. First I am off to unpack in a bit of peace and quiet. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
