In November we’re flying to Frankfurt for a week, which is seemingly the cheapest place you can fly to in Europe. I guess it’s a big airport! We got our tickets out of Baltimore for under $600, and we’re flying through Chicago (which is a little backward!). The time we have to change planes in Chicago, about an hour, is somewhat disconcerting because of not only baggage, but also what if our first plane is at all delayed (not that that ever happens in Baltimore). K thinks it will be fine. She is playing the optimist to my pessimist!
Frankfurt, from what I understand, is not worth visiting as a tourist for very long, so we are hightailing it out of there! We had the option to hop on a RyanAir or EasyJet flight out of there to Spain (or wherever) for about $40RT, but we decided it would be fun to see southern Germany since neither of us have been. So we’re going to do a circle around southern Germany by train. It will definitely include Munich, Straousburg, and Heidelberg, and we’d like to see some Alps, but that is about as far as the planning has gotten! It will be cold! There will be plenty of beer consumed.
Planning should have commenced already, but it hasn’t. There are schedules to make and hotels to book! Or maybe we will just play it all by ear, arriving with the Rick Steves book and no reservations, and take it from there. That might be adventurous!
