A last minute training class for Patrick had him leaving Strasbourg with about 1 week notice in order to go back to Indianapolis. Flights were a little hard to come by, and he didn't want to fly through Paris (no way he could have made the flight change in one hour) - so we drove him up to Frankfurt on a Sunday night for his Monday morning flight.
He was able to pack a couple bottles of wine and champagne that we had just gotten the weekend before, and he also took along an extra bag to bring back stuff. I hope he just remembers that we live in a 70 square meter apartment, and there's really not a lot of room for more stuff - unless it can be consumed.
