After 10 years in San Francisco I'm switching coasts and giving New York a shot.

Had a random curiosity if this forum was even around. Surprised that I even remembered my password.
I dropped out of high school, went to trade school. Moved to Saskatoon for 12 years as a semi truck mechanic in a shop I hated , got married, moved to Vancouver Island, work at an amazing shop as a lead mechanic and we have a baby on the way.

I was just thinking about you the other day Andy! Glad to hear things are working out for you in the end!

When you get to the last episode and they are in the "Eagle's Nest" (Kehlsteinhaus is it's name now). I was there last year.





It's a restaurant now. That's the Italian red marble fireplace that Mussolini donated to the project behind us. I had some good Goulash, a Hoffbrauhaus Munchen Helles, and a delicious chocolate torte when we were there. Rained like cats and dogs the entire time we were on the mountain.

We spent two weeks retracing my grandfather's footsteps through the war. My mom had always wanted to take the trip, so she and my dad footed the bill for the entire family. Flew into CDG Airport in Paris (Never do this, their customs is atrocious and will go on strike at the peak of passengers unloading from planes) from there we hit:

  • Commonwealth Beaches and Battery Longues

  • Bayeux France (Stayed at the hotel where Ike, Omar, and Monty stayed

  • Omaha & Utah Beaches

  • Back to Paris

  • Brussels

  • Westwall and Hurtgen Forest

  • Aachen

  • Duren

  • Cologne

  • Remagen

  • Koblenz

  • Mainz

  • Colmar (France)

  • Strausburg (France)

  • Tamer (Where my grandfather crossed the Rhine yet again)

  • Worms

  • Lots of little towns south of Innenstadt where he bivouacked for a period of time.

  • Wurzburg (If you're ever here, there are some really good restaurants in town and one hell of an outdoor bar, Hennes Kiosk, in front of the Hotel Walfisch that sees the sun set behind the Marienberg Fortress

  • Jossa (another Bivvy for a period of time)

  • Bamburg (worth a stop in the city center, good restaurants, beautiful river, very relaxed

  • Nuremberg, including the Zeppelin Field, Courthouse, and old city

  • Dachau (Grandfather was with the Rainbow Division when they liberated it)

  • Munich (one hell of a town!)

  • Berchtesgaden

  • Eagle's Next (Kehlsteinhaus)

  • Back ton Munich where we flew out the next day



I'd love to go back. My son LOVED the whole trip.

He liberated a camp....I can't imagine doing all that fighting just to top it off with that, that's brutal.

Been working remote since 2020 and decided to move to New York recently. Things have been going really well here so far, going to be a hot summer.
