Germany with Scott 2008-Setting off

This trip has been planned a long time, over a year, but is finally happening. Scott (my older son) and I are heading off for two weeks touring in Germany, my birth country, and a place that he has been as a child, and toured on his own as a young adult.

I've checked us in, and almost a miracle in the space-available travel world, we have been assigned seats on Air Canada (AC) 872, Toronto (YYZ) to Frankfurt (FRA), leaving at 17:30. Mary (Wilson) Mueller, Scott's wife is driving us to the airport, June and the munchkins, Trinity and Rachel, are coming along.

We've planned the itinerary for a long time, balancing driving with just being in an area. What we ended up with is mostly a route where we stay at a hotel for 3 or 4 nights, and travel around in the surrounding area, or the city near which we are staying. That way, we don't have to lug suitcases every morning, and we get to have some choice, based on weather or circumstances, on just exactly we will do, rather than being forced by reservations.

Eventually, I will post pictures (a selction from both Scott's and mine) on http://longworth_mueller.fototime.com/; from the main screen scroll down to "Germany (with Scott); Apr-May 2008" in the list of folders to view.

And now, we are off!
