Auf Wiedersehen, meine Herren.
I'm flying out tonight with my wife and youngest son to visit our oldest son in Germany for 3 weeks. We're spending 2 days in Iceland on the way and plan to make a series of 3-4 day trips out of our home base in Wiesbaden.

On the itinerary: the Black Forest, Alsace, Prague, Southern Bavaria, the Rhein/Mosel Valleys, the Ardennes, Brugges and Amsterdam.

We return on July 6. I'll be thinking about you schlubs.

Sounds wonderful!

Better hurry though - I hear Amsterdam is changing their laws, tourists will no longer be able to, um, partake: residents only

The nerve of those tolerant Dutch. I can still take my wife for a stroll through the Red Light district though.

Very Cool.. Relax -- we'll save your spot...

And DRIVE carefully.. If you do.. I realized that after 5 or 6 trips to Europe that Perhaps I ought to buy a Drivers handbook in the local bookstore. You'd be amazed at what all those squiggly lines mean!!!

Not to worry. I had a Porsche for the 8 years I lived there. It'll be a downgrade to drive my son's BMW 325i.

Be careful stepping over all of the dead bodies lining the streets, left there by those European Soshialist healthcare systems.

Ansonsten, genießen Sie Ihre Reise. Wünschte, ich wäre mit dir.

It is even more fun in England driving on the left.

Europeans are OK as long as you remember that the left lane is for passing.
