Just two days before I leave for a 36 day trip to Germany & Austria. I wanted to say thanks to all of you who shared your wisdom, wit, experiences & helpful web links. You made planning my first European vacation fun & much easier than I could have imagined. I'll be keeping a travel journal so I hope to be able to return the favor to future new comers to the Travelers' Helpline. My final itinerary looks like this: Bacharach (3 days), Darmstadt (3), Landau (2), Ludwigsburg (3), Munich (5), Salzburg (3), Vienna (5), Regensburg (3), Bayreuth (3), Coburg (3), & Frankfurt (3). Thanks again & keep the advice coming. Happy Travels!

Shawn,
Your trip sounds wonderful. I am leaving for a 23 day trip in 5 more days and this website has also helped me over the years and also for my up coming trip to France and Belgium. I love Germany and Austria and I know you will too. Have a great trip and please make a post when you return.

Hey Kevin! I appreciate you sharing the link with me. I needed a good laugh. It sounds like you and your brother know how to have a good time! Now I'm really looking forward to visiting Weingut zum Grüner Baum while I'm in Bacharach.
