I've never traveled to Europe, but will soon be there to present at the German DevCon. Planning for the trip is proving to be an interesting experience. Plans at one time were to stay a few days in the Munich area with Woody, then go to Salzburg, Austria before returning to Frankfurt to fly home, but you know about best laid plans. Yup...business needs caught up with him and he had to cancel.

No problem...on to plan B. Heck we'll be in Europe, maybe we can catch a flight to Rome. It's only about $3.00 on Fred's Biplanes...not something I want to experience. A real airline (British Airways, Lufthansa, etc) was going to cost about $400. Nope...too expensive...on to plan C.

And plan C is what we're sticking with...we're renting a car after the conference and touring Germany for a week. There are no specific plans for where we want to go or how long to spend in a particular place, which really sounds great. It will be very relaxing to not have to keep to a schedule, other than be back in Frankfurt in time to catch our flight back to the US.

But there are tons of little details before we go...stop the mail, get power converters, buy one of those U-shaped neck pillows, figure out what to pack for the weather, fill prescriptions, etc, etc, etc....

But I'm REALLY looking forward to this trip...which won't be my last to Europe. If you're attending the conference, be sure to introduce yourself. If you're not attending, you should look into it. The conference is reasonably priced and there are some sweet deals on airfares to Frankfurt. I hope to see you there.
