Day 7 - Munich: 2016-08-07, a literal "run for the border"

Hello all - sorry I haven't been super-active on the blog.  It turns out that Maya's sickness (mono) is pretty extreme, we've had the displeasure of spending LOTS of time in 4 different German ERs.  The poor girl has averaged about 2-4 hours of fleeting consciousness per day for several days.  Poor thing!
But most of our time has sadly been spent on Skype with an unholy combination of insurance agents, doctors, travel agents, and German taxi dispatch companies.

This morning, we pulled the plug.  We cut bait.  We ran for it.  At about 9.00a, we found a flight from Munich to MSP that left at 2.00p.  Spent the rest of the time informing insurance companies, canceling itineraries where possible, and packing for the Exodus 2016.  Arrived in MN at 6.00p later that "day".

I'd like to say we enjoyed our trip, and there were certainly high points and the like (the meetups in Frankfurt and Nuremberg).  But unfortunately, this trip was lost.  We just feel awful for Maya - it's great to be back and it appears things are headed in the right direction, which is the most important thing!

We'll be back - we've been so fortunate on our previous trips, a complication was bound to happen.  I'll try to fill in the details for whatever witty observations I can conjure up from our period from Frankfurt to Munich over the next couple of days.

Thanks for reading - wish this post was more fun :)
