RIX-BER 28.12.2023: Three unexpected “voluntary” days off at work created a rather convenient situation — from December 23 until January 1 the calendar suddenly became completely free.

Around 4:15 a.m., it’s absolutely pouring outside, and I have to run out to grab a Bolt Drive car so we can head to the airport and kick off the biggest trip of the year.
