Oktoberfest-Music- compilation-the-best

wait for it..

We traveled many moons over big pond..

LOL!!

You'll know it when you see it....

items and planning

Just trying to brainstorm items that we could use and things that need to be done in the next 60 days.


Buy or bring a portable charger for phone. We will be on the move from the moment we touch down till we cant take it any longer on the first day.  There might be a charging station somewhere but we cant count on that.  These compact portable chargers can charge you phone a couple of times between charges.


Call your credit card company and let them know you will be abroad.  Last thing you want is to be buying the room a round or an arm load of roses and finding out your card expired.


Inform your cell phone provider that you want to use Munich's cell towers.


Jacket, hat and gloves.  Remember the first time....


PAIN MEDs and antacids.....enough said


Think about it and add anything I might have missed...

another BDGTM plug...I like these guys...

History of the Pretzel

There are numerous unreliable accounts regarding the origin of pretzels, as well as the origin of the name; most assume that they have Christian backgrounds and were invented by European monks. According to legend, as cited by several sources, including The History of Science and Technology, by Bryan Bunch and Alexander Hellemans, in 610 AD "...Italian monk invents pretzels as a reward to children who learn their prayers. He calls the strips of baked dough, folded to resemble arms crossing the chest, 'pretiola' ("little reward[s]")". However, there is no known historical evidence to verify this claim.

I CANT WAIT!!!!
