How we spent easter…

We spent Easter in Bintan, Indonesia, with two other couples. Gerhard has been urging me to go for over a year, but I was put off by the ferry ride. It’s only one hour, but being seasick just doesn’t appeal to me. Luckily, I let myself get talked into it because it was the most beautiful place and the beach was nicer than many in SE Asia.

After taking the 10:00 am ferry, we arrived in Bintan and were whisked away by staff from Ria Bintan Golf Club and taken to the course, where we had a 12:30 pm tee time.

Not only was the golf course breathtaking, I had my best score on the front nine. The boys played again on Saturday while the girls put in some beach time.

New Assignment!

Gerhard has officially accepted his next assignment and we will be moving to Wiesbaden, Germany, at the end of July. We are very excited to have this opportunity, especially since it will have been exactly 25 years that he left Germany for the United States!

His new job will not be project related. He will be the Regional Engineering Manager for Europe, based in Wiesbaden. It will involve more travel than he has done in the past two years as he will have to visit the European affiliates to help with their engineering needs.

We expect to be in Germany for at least three years or until Abbott has other plans for us.
