Believe me girls, I haven't been trying so hard on making something happen since I don't know when. At work I couldn't concentrate a bit. Luckily my boss is very understanding. This morning he asked me: "Any progress on the Jake front?" He said that if he didn't have to go to Bosnia the very next day he'd drive me there himself. (I'm born the same month his daughter is, so I remind him of her, he tells me.)

MrsJakobGyllenhaal, your boss is definitely a nice person, we see. So now the main problem is to find a normal and more or less cheap train to get to Berlin?

Yes, that's basically it.

Wow, Sasha! Your boss impressed me. It's amazing, he's so supportive. It must be nice to work with him. I've just read about your problems with transportation. And what about a proposition jinigirl gave you, to go to her city and then together with her to Berlin by car. Maybe it would be more convenient?

I spoke to Jinigirl, but that's too far out of my way.
My coworker told me today that she won't be able to go either. So basically it' now down to the paper - I did write them a mail after all. I will have to make a decission today. If I would go by train I need to book the ticket via the Austrian train network, as that's 60 EUR less than in Germany. For the hotel I think I could use a voucher, so that'll be for free. - Both things need to be booked no later than tomorrow, otherwise these offers won't be valid anymore. But that means that I have to go all by myself. I wouldn't mind, but my hubby's sort of a scardy cat and he doesn't want me to travel that far all by myself. And I am not sure if seeing Jake is worth an argument with my hubby?
Oh girls, I really don't know what to do.

I understand your husband, but you are a grown up woman, raising kids, working, taking care of house, so you can manage travelling alone. It's a kind of challenge for you. And adventure. Just ask him to understand. Otherwise you could have a kind of grievance to/for? him, under your skin. And when you will come back home, all excited, he will have great time with you and your undying gratitude. ;D You put so much effort already in that, it would be a shame to stay home. We all would cry for you!

I know that, Mermon. Like I said, I wouldn't mind. I lived in the US on my own and I was way younger than. I have been to LA all by myself, I even went to Disneyland and Universalstudios alone. Plus I'm going to be meeting a whole bunch of people there.
But he can be very stubborn when it comes to those kind of things and he usually is such a good husband that I can't force myself to choose Jake over him. And I just know that he (my hubby) will be so mad at me if I go without him agreeing. And while I know that he will straighten up once I'm back, it's just a wired feeling to leave for something as fun as meeting Jake with a mad hubby at home. I don't like to part from him on such grounds.
And don't talk about crying - I feel like it myself right now. I will talk to him again tonight, then we'll see.

Oh no, I didn't mean going without your husband agreement. He's your real life. I meant convincing him. So keep trying. Good luck.

You're right. As much as I love Jake, my hubby is my real life and as Kate said to me: She has met Jake on several occasions and all of them have been unexpected and on short notice, but she has learned from experience there's always a second chance and a new possibility. So she never askes herself "Will I see him again?" I try to hold on to that, if convincing doesn't help tonight.

Yeah - I might have found a way to get to Berlin and back for under 90 EUR! Why didn't I think of that earlier? ? My dad works in Dresden during that week, that's about 2 hours away from Berlin. I could get a one-way ticket to Berlin from Austria for about 55 EUR, the next day I could get a ticket to Dresden (about 25 EUR) and my dad could pick me up on his way home to south Germany. Since his company pays for the gas I wouldn't even have to split the gas money with him. I could slap myself for not thinking about it earlier. I still need to convince my hubby, but at least I would have the money issue sorted out.
