Consider booking it as an Interrail trip, and make it 1st class. Dad will get a senior discount too. Interrail is now fully paperless (thank god), so you can buy and book online / with the app.

I'm sorry you have to travel for such reason! Waving a little fan flag for interrail passes. 3 days all-you-can-eat train travel across Germany costs 211€ (incl ICE trains), plus what it costs between Brussels and Aachen, or wherever you cross the border. But yes, private sleepers would cost extra.

Ich hatte damals ein zwei Tickets direkt in der Renfe App gebucht, weil die da besser sichtbar waren, und nicht so viel kosteten. Aber die Renfe app hat auch wieder ihr Eigenes.

Viel Erfolg! Die website ist etwas abenteuerlich

Tempted to sign up, but concerned it's another producticity hussle course that'll tip things out of balance. Do you have any more info on how you approach the topic? Thanks a lot

Nice!

The thing I couldn't fix: knowing that my banking apps will all be a pain to reinstall, and worrying about all these two factor authentication settings.

Things I freaked out about and tried to prioritise:
- WhatsApp Backup + Set up email verification + linking two laptops (speed-googling it all)
- noting down my @duolingo Username 😅

How do you write such a complex and haunting book, if you can't look stuff up digitally in your manuscript?

Take away is: you can be a great company in different ways. Aspinal doesn't make the absolutely nicest goods of the highest quality. But they've absolutely cracked production and shipping, and that's what I come back for.

Have also looked at gorgeous (and 3x price) customised gifts from
Anya Hindmarch, but customisation takes weeks, so not an option for last minute Charlies (and who does plan ahead to buy a purse with googles)?

Yes, I'm really that tall.
